Power of silence

 Dear All,


Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when
you just ran out
of words and you go... s i l e n t ....

Let me assist you in recalling...
.. the moment when you left your home for the first
time and you look
back at your parents who are worried that their
son/daughter are
leaving them yet happy that their child took the first
step towards
independence.

... the moment when the girl/boy you like most..
smiled back at you!
You dont say anything.. you just smile back..

... the moment when you get better marks than you
expected... those
"numb" moments of ecstacy n surprise "is that
true?"...

... the moment when you are parting with your old
friend(s) and the
train has just started... and you are standing on the
door of the
wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating
fast...

... the moment after the HR manager has just called
you and told
you,"You are through! Congrats!"

... the moment when you sit alone in your room after
having told
everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6
months!!

You can go on remembering your "special" moments!

I had always wondered why I never said anything to
myself at those
moments.. as if it was "understood"... happiness, joy,
pain.. all
feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that
passed in those
flash moments!

They say.. the best way to communicate is through
"silence".

Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations.
Support.
Non-cooperation...

Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a
song??

When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music,
before he goes
on in his husky voice...
... Please forgive me. I cant stop loving you!

Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired
enough that
you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find
yourself wide awake
looking at the roof of your room silently...

But you sure are 'thinking'... those moments of
self-talk are the
most important in our lives. Those moments when we
listen to our own
hearts! Those promises... those decisions... those are
the moments
when we make our destinies!

Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what
your heart is
saying.. listen to its joy...listen to its pain..
listen to its
fears.. listen to its desires..

Dont make it shut up and go off to sleep... LISTEN TO
THAT VOICE and
ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS! That voice alone can lead
you to the abode
of peace that your sleep lacks... peace that awaits
you!

Be in touch with your true self... be silent once a
day, every day !
