Silence Is Golden (And I’m Fabulous)…

What would your life be like without music?

Oh, WP, life without music?

Honestly, I’d be just fine, probably even happier. Don’t get me wrong, I like music when I want to. At the charity shop, a bit of background jazz or an old pop tune adds to the vibe, maybe even makes me nod along if I’m feeling generous.

But most of the time? Silence is golden. I like to hear myself think, hatch plans, or just enjoy the little sounds of the world around me. All those people who feel they cannot survive without a constant playlist? Bless them. I’ll take my quiet over a chart-topping hit any day.

So yes, music has its moments, but life without it? Still brilliant. And between you and me, if someone tries to tell me silence is boring… I just smile and remind them: silence is the only thing that lets me hear how fabulous I really am.

Mae 🧡

    Quiet men and women are usually deep thinkers and spiritual
    It is the ones with guilt consciences that have to have constant noise around them to drown out The Holy Spirit convicting them

      I’d agree with you there, Joseph. Silence isn’t empty; it’s often where the real thinking and listening happen. Noise can be a pretty convenient cover-up for what someone doesn’t want to face. 🧡

    Living where I do silence is something that is not available. It is quietest in the wee hours of the morning. Sometimes I stay up all or most of the night and enjoy it. I get in the mood to listen to a bit of music now and then, but I am not one to want some kind of noise going on all the time. Quiet time is a blessing.

    Mags I thrive on silence.. I listen to the wind and the rain. As I am tonight! I think noise is a distraction! Now I do love music but only when I want to listen to it. Joseph nailed it! And I could rant about it all night lol! Hugs Mags 🫂 😋

    I couldn’t live without music! There is much music in your writing. But that’s silence you’re writing about. I love silence too.

      Exactly René! I love music, but I also love silence. It’s like the space between the notes where everything else can be heard. Glad you feel the music in the words!🧡
