The Undercurrent of Silence

Silence, all we hear is silence. It's not awkward it is just there, it is always there. But is there more, is there more then what we can hear, what we can see. What is silence?

It's a weird question isn't it. But you get my drift. There's always a silence it's always there, that gap in-between our sentences, in-between our conversations. That is what makes conversations worth listening too, that is what makes things worth reading. It's what we don't say that matters, it's that look that people give us, or when they don't that tell us how they feel. The emotions people try to hide behind words, but in silence there are no words, and emotions are laid bare.

Those emotions, anger, trust, sadness, happiness, its in the space. That gap, even the smallest gap, is the biggest difference. It's that little detail that changes a conversation. That is the undercurrent of silence, it's the meaning of the gap. If you pay attention to what people don't say, then you get a look into there heart. You get a look into what they really mean.
Silence, it's the cover for what we want to say and can't.
