Go gather by the humming sea,
W. B. Yeats
Some twisted, echo-harbouring shell,
And to its lips thy story tell,
And they thy comforters will be,
…
Sometimes I just long for silence. Sometimes, words want to leave my lips, but won’t make themselves known. A whisper, lost in the howling of the wind. Deep breath. Sometimes it’s just fidgeting in between dreams, a commotion before becoming dormant again.
I desire quiet sometimes. When everything around me is slowing down, I want to greet that rhythm and embrace it.
A whisper…
Humming…

That’s why I walk in nature whenever I can because I love silence or I love the nature’s sound. Beautiful photo!

Beautifully expressed… sometimes silence speaks the words our hearts are unable to say. There is something deeply comforting about simply slowing down, breathing, and letting the quiet hold us for a while. 🤍

Thank you! 🤍 Much like our minds have a lot to say, and there’s a hundred things we want to talk about, silence also has a lot to say. Only it’s maybe the most difficult to understand its language.

I long for silence almost always, I know that feeling so well.

Does it come as unusual, when you feel like you constantly want to/ have a lot to say, to actually enjoy silence without a racing mind that wants to push it out of the way? That’s how I feel, and silence and I used to be best friends.

Yes, it’s odd when I find myself more chatty because I’m so used to being silent. Racing mind is a constant these days too.
