The comfort of silence with someone says a lot about trust and love.
-Albert Camus-
-----------------
Some people find it difficult to be silent, and I fear that they are almost always the ones who rarely say anything worth listening to. It would be better if they kept quiet for a year, as they sometimes say around here.
I like it when I meet someone who can be silent as much as I am and still feel comfortable. Of course, I don't mean absolute silence, but rather pauses, deep breaths that keep you in a state of pleasant calm.
Once I tried to connect with someone, or I fooled myself into thinking there was a connection, but from my point of view, this person talked too much. At times, I would just look at her and remain silent, and inside I would say to myself, “Shut up, shut up...” She would complain, insinuating that I was plotting some elaborate plan... Oh dear! I just wanted to stop listening to her chatter. I wanted to run away, but I was in my own home, so the situation wasn't that easy.
I'm glad I was able to get out of that situation back then. I like peace and quiet and moments of serenity. I really value my alone time, and today, even though I'm sure I would be fine in good company, I'll be alone with myself , which is a good plan too. I'll have space to recharge my moods so I can be in human company again.
Today, one of my brothers invited me to go together to visit our mother, but I already went yesterday. I spent almost the whole day with her on a visit in which I dedicated quality time to her, as I believe it should be.
My friend V went to the beach with her family and didn't invite me. I'm glad that she knows me so well in a short time; she knows I would probably have said no. Many people for the little time we've known each other. Then she and I will have time for a more intimate and personal walk, just as we like, full of silly jokes, pleasant chats, probably some music, and of course spaces for silence while we contemplate the horizon, the sky, the clouds, or the stars, whatever comes...
For now, it smells like Saturday. I feel like having a homemade frothy milk coffee, patiently made. An arepa with eggs to complete the breakfast and some soft music to stay in tune with the tranquility that today fills me.
