Silence as power

Silence as power

In silence, you hear what the hustle and bustle drowns out.
That’s why you avoid silence.

Because in silence, the questions you don’t have answers to, arise.
In silence, you feel what you push away with activity.
In silence, you notice that you are tired.

And that is confronting.

So we fill our lives with activities.
With meetings. With tasks. With distractions.
Not because we have to. But because it feels safer than being quiet.

But silence is not a threat.
Silence is power.

Because in silence, clarity arises.
In silence, you hear what you really find important.
In silence, direction comes.

Not by thinking.
But by feeling what is there.
