a musician uses rests

as more than places to breathe

it is important contrast...

silence speaks

.

.

when meditating,

one opens the mind

to self-reflection and personal growth...

silence speaks

.

.

A counselor

will let the troubled mind

have time with no interruption...

silence speaks

.

.

where silence is revered,

there, nature may be observed,

peace may be found

clarity

. . . . focus

. . . . . . . . empathy

.

.

in a world saturated with noise,

resist the urge to babble.

listen more...

.

.

silence speaks
