(A person sits in front of a window overlooking the city exhausted by the endless noise of the world.)
“QUIET”! I always wish it was quiet everywhere. World is always so loud. The honking of cars, people yelling, the hum of machines, a million different noises always fighting for attention.
I wish there was a quiet world. A world where there was quiet the moment you woke up, no alarm going off, no clanking of utensils in the kitchen, no neighbours arguing et cetera. Sometimes I feel no one truly knows how to be quiet. Not just talking – but quiet from the soul. A quiet so comforting and warm, that it feels as if your soul is being warmly embraced.
Sometimes, I wish the world could pause. The only sound being the leaves rustling in the wind, the gentle rush of water through a stream, the crunching of dry leaves beneath my feet. How peaceful would that be? No music blaring, no yelling – just silence. A silence so thick and pure enough to cleanse my soul.
I wish I could bask in the quiet to collect my thoughts, reflect and relax. I envy people who have reached a level of being quiet where they shut down their thoughts, sit in the void that silence is.
I wonder if it would be quiet in space. What about the bottom of the ocean? I wish I could experience real silence. A silence without thought.
