"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way.
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
~Arundhati Roy~
"I'm just weird." I tell him.
When others need a bunch of friends around. I need the quiet.
It's how I re-charge.
It's not that I don't enjoy sitting across from a dear soul over coffee. I do. Those conversations are often what spurs me on in my creative pursuits.
It's not that I don't enjoy having children run around with their giggles and questions. It's precious, and encourages play within my soul.
But. Sometimes.
It's in the quiet moment. Without feet rushing about. Without questions asked. It's in that moment that I can hear myself breathe that I am reminded
I'm alive.
I get to sit. Watch flames flicker. Meditate. Listen to the thoughts that come. I can question. I can cry out. Just me and Him.
Today. I am embracing the quiet.
