Silence is a misnomer
It should have been named Shylence
Because when we shush for silence
We say shhhhhhhhhh not sssssssss
And shy people are normally shylent
Shhhhhhhhhh.......; November 9, 2009 3:03 AM

KaliDurga said...: It's always interesting to me all the ways in which words can be interpreted. My first reading of this gave me a feeling of peace, as the idea of absence struck a zen-like note-- the absence of strife, the absence of chaos, the stillness of absence.

Reading it again, though, brought a more ominous feel as I thought of what might be behind your absence. I hope that you have peace in your silence, rather than strife. My thoughts are with you, hb.; November 9, 2009 4:17 PM

TC said...: Hello hb,

Lovely post. In a silent way.

I've been thinking lately that

silence is a distillate of noise; November 12, 2009 12:17 PM
goatman said...: Deep in a cave once
I heard the sound of my own brain,
electrical goings-on
Kind of a high whine or buzz
So there is always something

Until there is nothing; November 13, 2009 1:56 AM
