Silently Silently

The inter workings of my head are so contradictory sometimes. It swings one way, then violently shifts and swings the other direction. I don't know what I want, I don't know what I want to think, and I don't have any clue what my future holds - so sometimes silence is my cop-out.

But there's something beautiful about silence. The way you can isolate your thoughts and detach from the world. The way you can hear nature breathing when you're out alone in the world. The tranquility of sitting alone and inhaling the aroma of your surroundings.

The most wonderful things can happen when it's silent, too. The stillness of the air when making big decisions, the intimate silence you feel with a loved one, the way your brain works to understand concepts, and the small whisperings of the Holy Ghost.

So maybe we just need to learn to bask in the silence and understand that maybe the only thing we need is the peace and muteness of the moment. And then maybe our brain can figure itself out. Right?

At least that's all we can hope for.
