On silence

Growing up, I frequently heard the proverb, "silence is golden."  Of course, where I came from, there was an idiom for everything, so it was easy to ignore them. Lately, however, I have taken time to reconsider the things that I learned, and dismissed while I was growing up.  Thus the topic silence.

As I have taken a new look at silence I have come to rediscover that silence is truly golden.  From silence I have come to learn and understand many things that I have taken for granted truly matter.  That moments that i take to enjoy the silence, I get to hear, and truly listen to the inner voice, which all of the noises of modern living mute out.

And the voices are wise. And i gain new incite, incite which is truly worth a lot of gold- even at todays inflated prices.

Silence is gold
