THE MANY FACES OF SILENCE
by: Carmela Ariza31 December 2015, Panglao,Bohol, 10:22AM
INTENTIONAL SILENCE
I seek the woods
And the woods find me
I listen to the log
Lying, waiting
Eventual decay
In the offing
PUNCTUATED SILENCE
Storms
Bring me to a standstill
Blood
Rushing through my viens
Dread
Anxiously anticipating
DEAFENING SILENCE
Whirring thoughts
In a constant refrain
Burying oneself
In work or laughter
This is a sentence
Without reprieve
VEXED SILENCE
Incensed
Enraged
Outraged
Furious
!*@#^)(>$@
I walk away
PENSIVE SILENCE
Lost in deep thought
Questioning
Deliberate pondering
Wistful longing
Freefalling insights
Plucking wisdom
MOONSTRUCK SILENCE
Nervous but ecstatic
Consumed with desire
Smitten kitten
Tickled teakettle
Frolicking in the rapids
Restless, definitely notloveless
HEARTBROKEN SILENCE
Exposed
Vulnerable
Pricked
Betrayed
Inconsolable
Silent
EMERGENT SILENCE
Nine months in waiting
Coming out
Being true to oneself
Release and deliverance
Reaping, fruiting
Healing, in the fullness of time
SACRED SILENCE
In deep sorrow or deep pain
A child’s embrace givescomfort
In contemplation
A coming home to the core
In harmony with nature
Oneness
THANKFUL SILENCE
Forbearance in difficulttimes
Appreciation for what givesrise to my existence
Reaching out to help theneedy
Grateful surrender
Accepting the present
Here and now
I wish everyone OPEN SPACES FOR SILENCE THE WHOLE YEAR!
BLESSINGS to all!

True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen.
Do not pursue happiness - practice it.
Sing, even if you do not sound good.
Smile, even when things go wrong.
Create happiness, and happy you will be.
