Silence

I love the first half an hour or so in the office when i come early and not many people are around. This is a time of meditative silence and i use it by trying to dive deep inside myself. This time is far from chaos and stupid issues. Listening to deep silence has the same effect as standing alone on a beach, feeling the strength of the ocean belittle every meaningless issue festering inside your mind. When you come face to face with a force so pure, you are purged. Sadly, I hunger for more such moments, when I can delve into the silence and feel my heart slow in tune with its rhythm. Life (and to some extent laziness), does not let me enjoy it as much as I'd like to. The push and pull of duties cannot be ignored. But I want to find a silent core in the midst of the confusion. I don't know what this feeling is called. There are many who would call me a nutcase for thinking on these lines. But still, i cherish that calm solitude.
