“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you’re alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
– Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
this is how silence sounds …. nice words.
I like this! Is amazing
I’ve experienced most if not all of these. Truly beautiful.
Ah! from the Phantom Tollbooth which I remember from my daughter’s youth. It was in
quotes so I assume that was from the book. So very beautiful and what a photo to match!
Well thanks for reading!
You have reminded me of just how sweet silence can be. Really nice post. Thanks.
Oh yes it sure can be. Thanks for the read
Love it!
