A Vaccay for Silence

Only if we don't have to care about so much in life;
Only if air tickets are not that expansive;
Only if the application deadlines are not the end of this month;
I WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE FOR A VACATION.

It's been a while since the last time I have any physical contact with the nature. No matter it's the leaves dancing in response to the wind,
or the waves running back and forth along the seashore,
or the breeze gently touches my face carrying the scent of the ocean,
or the silence you hear, the calmness you feel, the reflection of yourself you see at the centre of a lake,
or the spots of light you see in the sky while fireflies and stars are indistinguishable.
It has been too too too long.

"It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox." Nicholas Sparks, the Notebook.

Silence can pull people apart. But acccording to Sparks, it can draw people together. I really do wish the latter, for making unnecessary conversation is not one of my favourites.

Silence can bring my thoughts together. By connecting the thoughts, one could come up with something really powerful. Small ideas could lead to very creative ones. Good memories could lead to smiles in heart. But sad memories bring tears and scars.

The most needed right now:
A vacation in the seek of silence as an insulation, isolating from streetlights, building, applications, papers, beeps, vehicles, ..., people.
