Silence "It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to silence;" NIV Psalms 115:17 No hum of motors No flow of odors. No laughter from girls and boys No music playing. No noise. Calm, I hear no breeze No rustling in trees. I hear no breathing No coming, no leaving. I hear no walking Only my thoughts are talking. Who am I? Without sound? Nothing moving, around, Only silence.

Thanks floria, for your question. Actually I was not specifically speaking of actual physical death. I began just pondering what life would be like in silence. Of course death is often used to denote final silence, and I could see where you might think that I was writing about physical death. And even when we live silently, all sound activity ceasing, it could seem like a sort of death, until we begin using our other senses to receive God's wonderful reflections of life. Thank you for your interest. ((floria)) -newell |
