Silent Answers

Amidst the bustles of life, we should always be able to find time solely for ourselves. Personal times perhaps to look into our necessities and needs, to relax and see a whole long list of possibilities for us to be able to make that time useful just for ourselves.

I find solitude to be one of the greatest gifts in life. It might seem strange but it is when I am alone that I am able to bring out a lot more of me into the outside. In being alone, I can make images and create ideas.

Being alone makes me feel the wonder of everything around me, even if just confined in the four corners of an almost blank room.

It is in this time, that even at the height of working by myself, that I am able to reflect and understand how life is, how it should somehow be lived.

Above all, it is in solitude that I feel one with my Creator.

When alone, perhaps after producing and bringing things out of my mind, when my mind grows tiresome that I sit back, just simply sitting back. I close my eyes not for sleep but for reflection. I sit not to relax but to make myself empty.

Then I pray for a while. I talk, and talk to Him. I tell him in a very brief moment all that I have in me – my joys, pains, wants, anything that I want to release myself from, then I stop.

That brief moment comes to an immediate end and I would make myself quiet, doing and thinking of nothing.

Time will pass and it will never be noticed. I have rested my body, my mind, my emotions, but more than that, I feel peace. Strangely, in my silence, He had talked to me longer than the time I had uttered. He had renewed my strength from the tiresome bustles of my everyday life.

In silence, I am able to make a process of self therapy. In silence, I have been given answers - far, far more than what I have even asked for.
