#Silence And Solitude

Scenes from a Dream

“Wake up and feel the earth under your feet, breathe again. You have been gone for so long, now it’s time to come home.” If you squint, the blurred line from the distance is sounding its bullhorn, calling out, waiting for those sneakers to push the ground and propel them forward under the amber dome, turning everything into honey gold, towards half-painted canvas missing its pastel color palette…

Quiet days

[macrolit]

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words. - Carl Jung

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.

I love this time – the in-between time, the time after all the gatherings and lights, the time before we swing back into the regular routines of the new year. It is the crack between the worlds, the place where dreaming can unfold and then spiral into being quickly and quietly. It is a place where, if we want them to, solitude and silence can surround us and the soul-hungers we have abandoned can find us once again. It is a time to listen deeply, to stay with stillness open to the impulse to move from the deepest part of what we are.

Go slow, my life, go slow. Let me enjoy the beauty of silence, serenity, and solitude.

It is of the essence of joy to reveal itself, while grief tries to hide, sometimes even to deceive. Joy is communicative, social, open-hearted, and desires expression; grief is secretive, silent, solitary, and seeks to retire into itself.

Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or

Never have I dealt with anything as difficult as my own soul. Imam Al-Ghazali

Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life’s nothingness.

-- André Maurois

We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.

C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Those quiet getaways speak so loudly sometimes. ✌️

"Most of the time the universe speaks to us very quietly: In pockets of silence; In coincidences; In nature; In forgotten memories; In the shape of clouds; In moments of solitude;

In small tugs at our hearts."
