When sitting beside a river, away from the hustle and bustle of a noisy city, the comparison with silence is obviously significant. When exposed to such levels of noise, a desire for quietness or even silence comes to the fore.
But peace, serenity, and calmness in a busy city are all but a mirage where the desire for tranquility is but a fantasy. A desire for silence unworldly
Why is silence golden? Would it not create a feeling of remoteness?
Would the senses strive for and endeavour to create sounds of birdsong, trees, or rippling river to compensate for the silence that has taken ownership of the senses?
Does the spirit facilitate inner sound? Is total and absolute silence strange and awesome? Does the spirit need even a ‘glimmer’, or a ‘seed’ of sound signalling life?
When the world is a beating drum, vibrations shaking the air we breathe, perhaps there is a calling that creates dreams of silence while wide awake.
Imagining being in outer space where there is no sound in a vacuum. Pure silence.
The inner consciousness creates a dream-like state, releasing a symphony of gentle reality.
The heart cannot be content when silence removes sensuality, distancing it from the purity of Nature.
Silence can be uplifting, replacing everyday sounds outside the body with peace, tranquility, and enhanced imagination.
But this describes experiences with eyes wide open.
Sitting beside a river where Nature offers images where golden sounds reflect the desirability of Nature’s beauty.
Close your eyes and be part of an expanded Universe. When eyes are closed spiritual meditation envelops the consciousness. A subliminal journey
Desirable sounds such as bird song, gentle breeze, or rippling river caress senses.
When eyes are closed, possibilities become infinite. No limitations. No external sound. An open door to Inner peace.
Indeed, Silence is Golden
