Silence has the power to be so LOUD!

Sometimes the use of silence can convey a message loud and clear. Using silence can sometimes make a statement for another person. It may be a way of saying I am displeased with your actions, I am so intuned with my thoughts, or I really do not have anything useful that can be said. For the past year I have useed my own silence. Not so much because I don’t have much to say but because the level of grief I have been going thru made me feel as if my mouth was filled with cotton, and nothing would come out except soft puffs of it. There were only two people I would talk to regularly otherwise I was quiet. However, recently I have become more interested in speaking. There is a little one that is living in my belly, and I understand thru my many google searches that she can hear my voice now. Therefore, I use my voice for melody, and for having small conversations with her even when I don’t feel like it because I want her to be familiar with language and speech even in the womb. However, I seem to lose my motivation for speaking, yes me the chatterbox, when her father is around. I also am able to notice when I am in various classes there are always times when the professor seems to be hanging on to a thin piece of rope hoping that someone is willing to answer the question that has just been presented to the class. There is always a person in the class that has the answer to everything, and just as you wish that this person would allow the silence to overtake the room to give yourself a chance to allow the question to marinate and respond, he/she blurts out their opinions. I am sure the professor is relieved there is a student like this in the room. Silence, though, can be more inviting than speech sometimes. It gives an opportunity for a person to be at one with their thoughts. It also allows a person to make a powerful statement. For example, it would be easier for me to tell a person who tells me they love me nothing at all than to say sorry I do not feel the same way. It just softens the blow of reality. Silence is powerful and should therefore be used wisely.
