秘密花園

Let’s talk a story about silence. There is so much to tell with silence. Some people don’t like it, because quietness remains them the bad things like lonely, death, or isolation. However, silence is a good thing. When it comes, you can hear more voice than usual. The voices are from everywhere-from other people’s facial expression or movement, deep inside of your heart, even from God and Devil.

It’s very interesting to study other people without their noticing. A man in a suit walking by you, he looks at his watch few times, a hand bag in one hand. You would guess he is going to meet his customer. Time is still enough because his face is still calm. A girl next to you on the bus is talking on the phone. Her voice is soft and with smiles. There are laughter lines by her eyes. She is probably talking with her boyfriend. A man in dirty cloth is hiding behind the pillar. Then you guess how many days from his last bath with the dirt on his hair. There are so many stories when you look the people around you, though it’s still difficult to see the darkest story by looking. The read the stories like that would take more time by knowing them and talking with them. But, you have to keep silence when they talk, or you will miss the secrets.

Some people don’t like to speaker to themselves or listen to their own voice. The thing is they don’t know the people from their innermost. Most of the times, we show other people what we want to be looked like. That’s part of yourself, definitely. I didn’t mean that we fake what we are, though some people do pretend to be a different person from themselves. You may already know that we are like the moon, only show part of us in front of people. Most part of us is hiding behind the darkness. This part is usually not pleasant, especially to yourself. Sometimes you could hear melody from your heart. Sometimes you hear the echo from your thoughts. Most of time you hear your own voice is talking to you. It speaks the lost when love is gone, the hurt you paid from the mistakes you made, and the secrets you can’t tell others; they are the stories of yourself.

There is also voice from God and Devil, if you believe in God. Most people don’t know the difference from the voices. However, if you listen carefully, you can easily find your won voice among the noise. The voice is from your heart and sounds like what you would say- questions or uncertain. God’s voice is always positive and firm. You can verify this after following this voice or not. If you follow the voice and things turn out positive, then it’s God’s voice. The Devil’s voice is easy to recognize. It’s usually negative and asks you to do the things you know is wrong. It sounds more like temptation, lies with unreal sweetness, or stops you doing something good which you know in your heart. Depends on which voice you hear, your story will go different direction.

Story till here is much more than about silence. It’s more like the stories from the silence. Or the stories with voices might fit this topic, too. However, I still think they are all from the silence. If you are not quiet down, you won’t hear these stories. They only come out with silence.
