I was feeling poetic…as usual, then i lost it, as usual. But that’s okay. b/c i know something that is true, and im going to tell you: it is Silence. You don’t have to be a poet or deep thinker to know its veracity, silence, you merely need awareness.

Now, what i cannot say for certain is true or not true is something i truly believe, that Silence is neither sound nor not sound. However, i will also tell you something that i will readily assert is true but cannot (as far as i know) scientifically prove: Silence is also a feeling. This feeling could be a shape, or a moment, or hidden within a sound or non-sound.

I love Silence in a way that i love no other existent phenomenon — not more nor less than, just in a different and differently deep manner. Perhaps that is in part due to its intrinsic embedding in so many other phenomena; a stare or glare, a poem, a scream even, before between and/or after “I love you”s, or in the spaces where “I love you”s could be.
