As I was reflecting on this past week

and just how strange the world seems right now

I also feel like the world is in a tidal wave of reflection

and because of that constant wave-people are actually

much more silent. 

I even find myself running out of words, not so quick to share my ideas

dreams are spilling out of my pores

I guess that tidal wave can be damaging if we let it

be 

washing over ourselves so that we become nothing but

worry and doubt

But I also think to that humanity mirrors the outside

When the outside is bustling with people

and you can hear the sidewalks echoing with laughter

Humanity can hear that and we laugh too

And we allow our voices to echo with every step

we make alongside our journey

But when the outside is quiet

And the cars stop

and the shops close

and you walk outside in a thick cloud of the world

just thinking about

what may happen next

well

we become quiet beings too

quiet in soul

quiet in spirit

quiet in heart

I like the quiet but this time

the world is a bit too quiet

you know what I mean?
