Silence and Whispers

Whispers come for those who can listen to the silence within. Many can't hear them and in their minds they try to understand but they can't, because of all the noise of thoughts, ideas, opinions and beliefs. Silence to them is only a lack of noise and the comfort of safe and secure beliefs. They prefer beliefs over understanding gained from a soulful search within. Their beliefs hold back the fear of emptiness and the hollowness of their identities and minds. They are numb from holding onto ideas for too long that promise much but deliver nothing. It is easy to hear the barrage of thoughts, ideas, opinions and beliefs that bombard us each day, but very few can hear a whisper from the heart because they don't know how to listen to the silence within.
