silence allows reflection.. it really does doesn't it.. the power of silence and discovery... when in an empty room or otherwise.. silence amplifies whatever sounds we make.. silence here heightens our sense of hearing... silence allows us to deal with our own thoughts.. the perfect time to reflect.. its only in silence are we able to get more in touch with our surroundings.. the fall of a pin.. if only we would stop to listen.. there is so much to learn.. the language of the world the melody of nature... why do we get mad with frustration when it gets too noisy? could it be the entanglement in harmony of our self to the surrounding? silence is golden then... in how when we try to be at ease with ourself we go off in seclusion to meditate.. to gain the "inner peace"...haha.. a play on the word.. peace.. stability and again silence.. yet.. if peace is all the parts of such wonder.. why do we go mad in frustration when the world suddenly stops in silence... then the truth dawns on us.. one can't get too much of something.. we need the contrast to see the difference.. the comparison to have a preference.. without some noises we probably won't realize how nice it is to get away from the petty squabbles in the market.. just like a piece of music score.. what makes a melody so magical? the ups and downs.. the cresendos and falling cadances.. the fast pace and the slow pace.. a perfect mixture for the perfect mood.. ah.. a similarity to life isn't it.. without the depressions we wouldn't realize what is happiness.. without the dark days would we be able to appreciate the carefree and freedom of today? yes.. appreciate the silence.. but remember to listen for the music of nature.. it is only then will you see that nothing is absolute.. to reach a level of zen and perfect harmony..
