a silent zone

a friend of mine once asked me, “you’re not comfortable with silence, are you?”
i was babbling on and on about something inconsequential i think. the question was more of a statement than a real question and it gave me pause.
“no. i’m not.”, came my reply. she just nodded.
that one question got me started on how to appreciate silence. it was only later on that i realized that sharing the quietness of a moment is a sign that you’re comfortable enough with one another that no one has to say anything and its okay.
i miss the quiet of san pablo. things feel more… “settled” there. its like everything knows its place. that’s where i usually have my quiet time. my silent zone.
i never got the chance to thank her for asking that question so,
thank you.
