A Soul That Waits in Silence

📝Reflection

The Hebrew dumiyyah means a soundless stillness, the quiet of silence. The poet said the soul rests only within this stillness. We fear silence and endlessly fill the gap with something — music, news, scrolling. But a mind always filled with sound cannot hear its own voice. There was a time silence frightened me; when it grew quiet, postponed feelings would rise. Yet once I endured that stillness, the true voice of myself, long pressed beneath the noise, finally became audible.
