Manifesto Monday: Silence

I believe that silence is healing. I have noticed that when I have had uncomfortable experiences in life--the kind that break your heart and spirit--I seek out solace. I need time to think and process how to heal. Indeed, the best remedy is meditation as I go throughout my days. This past weekend I got a bit discouraged about my schooling, and the goals I have attached to it. (Wishing Ceej was around!). I found peace as I didn't say as much as I usually do in groups of people. I listened. I watched. I rested. I'll probably take a couple more days of solitude to reclaim my enthusiasm for the present and the future. I can feel the silence putting me back together. This I believe.
