Silence

Silence is a funny thing, it comes in many forms and variations yet it is still the same. One who has a migraine finds silence as medication. For someone who may be totally stressed the silence can be relaxing. We put our kids in time out for punishment-silence. When a friend is hurting we sit in silence with them for comfort, supportive silence. Sometimes we take a moment of silence for prayer. Silence can bring peace, silence can bring fear. Silence can bring memories back to thought. For a grandparent after the holiday silence brings sadness when the family leaves. For a spouse who has lost their life partner silence causes pain to reverberate in the heart. When a full house, a home full of love suddenly becomes empty the silence is deafening. Silence soothes, silence hurts, silence....silence. Keeponkeepin'on

Silence can also be used to drive some people CRAZY!! It can be an effective tool to make a point (or "not" make a point)...
