An Adventure in Silence?

I am nursing this idea.
Would I like to take an excursion through the realm of the quiet?
The truly peaceful quietness of thought?
Would I like to wander through the land of the calm?
The world of tender stillness?

Do I even like these words?
These ideas?
Do I even care?
Do care for the silence? About the silence?
Would I gain anything from this journey into the absence of noise?
Absence of distraction?
Would I hear things normally drowned out by sheer living?
Would I discover thoughts meant only for me?

Or... would I discover secrets of my soul?
Of my heart. Secrets my mind would rather keep hidden.
Will this silence disturb me? Delight me?
Would it be of no consequence or would it mean everything to me?

How would I go about attaining this silence? This hush?
This quiet, where can I find it?
Within my mind? Within my heart? In a mere room or location?
Must I search it out alone or hunt for it with others?

Is this even worth thinking about?
These questions, are they worth asking? Worth wondering about?
Worth pondering?

Maybe not, but I am and will.
Wonder. Ponder. Think.

And maybe, just maybe, I will be silent.
