Song Of Silence | Harison Xavier

 

Silence 

I live near a busy street in a metropolitan city. At the time of writing this blog, we are currently on a lockdown due to the Corona virus pandemic. People are not allowed to get out of the house. The lockdown is taking a toll on people, but deep down I am happy. I am enjoying this lockdown, I will tell you why.

I have been here for the past 5 years or so. I always wanted to move to a better place as here it's very noisy, due to different reasons I had to cancel on them all. Today morning I woke up early and though its Saturday, let me give myself a break and do something fun. Thinking of fun I though about playing a video game, I completed one mission and then got bored and though of going out to the balcony.

Then I found it. The Silence. The streets are empty. (It's every early in the morning about 5:00 am ). There are no soul out here. No cars or bikes. Just silence. Can I be more happy? In my past 5 years in this city never have I experienced this silence, even though its early the streets used to be crowed on a normal day, even at early mornings people here work round the clock, there will be buses on the streets carrying employees for day and night shifts. 

       Now it is just so quiet and peaceful.  This was happiness to me. If it was a bit more silent, I could even hear my own heartbeat. 

I was longing for silence for a long time. Today was the day when that wait was over. It's dark and cool outside. I was having an experience of a life time. This moment will never come back. The lockdown is not for ever, people will be back on track running their own lives. 

I want to absorb all the energy this silence have brought in today.
I felt so peaceful, this is what I was waiting, for a very long time. 

I also feel disappointed how people cannot notice the beauty of this silence. 

Song

What is your favorite song? Or favorite music?

What do you feel when you listen to them? 
One that came to my mind is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I feel like I am somewhere peaceful. I am at a place of silence and happiness. If you have not heard Moonlight Sonata before, give it a try. Comment below on which is your favorite song or music that takes you to your happy place.

 The reason I mentioned this song is that I wanted to show you how exactly I felt standing there. The silence have a music to it, silence is singing a song to you. You could listen to it only if your are at peace. 

I am trying my best to explain to you how it feels like to be in the silence. I will need more experience in writing this, someday I will republish this and explain more beautifully how it felt like. 


Was I the closest to God? Why was I so fulfilled? Waking up early have become a good habit after all. I am able to see things that most people will miss. Also I am able to do much more things that most people as I have more time and focus to my work. 

I wish I could be in places where I can feel this divine more often. An invisible hug around my heart.
