Silent Love
(M. Furqan Khan, Karachi)
Have you ever experienced a
moment in your life when you just ran out of words and you go..... s i l e n t
???
Let me assist you in recalling...
The moment when you left your home for the first time and you look back at
your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are leaving them yet happy
that their child took the first step towards independence.
The moment when the girl/boy you like most.. smiled back at you! You don't
say anything.. you just smile back..
The moment when you get better marks than you expected... those "numb"
moments of ecstasy n surprise "is that true?"...
the moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has
just started... and you are standing on the door of the wagon.. waving
"bye-bye" with your heart beating fast...
The moment after the HR manager has just called you and told you,"You are
through! Congrats!"
The moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyone that
you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months!! You can go on
remembering your "special" moments!
I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those moments.. as
if it was "understood" ... happiness, joy, pain.. all feelings just flowed
ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those flash moments! They
say.. the best way to communicate is through "silence".
Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support. Non-cooperation.
..
Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song??
When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes on in
his husky voice... ..... Please forgive me. I can't stop loving you!
Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that you
reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake looking at the
roof of your room silently...
But you sure are 'thinking'.. . those moments of self-talk are the most
important in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own hearts! Those
promises... those decisions... those are the moments when we make our
destinies!
Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is saying..
listen to its joy...listen to its pain.. listen to its fears.. listen to its
desires.. and Be in touch with your true self...
