Golden Silence?

we have all heard the phrase, "silence is golden" at some point in our lives.  hell, we might have even been the person to say the phrase.  to be honest, i feel like i have been more on the giving than the receiving side.   or, maybe is more related to my increase of years.   right?  kids don't seem to grasp the joy of silence.  and, parents would probably say that a quiet child is up to something.  in my case as likely documented by my parental units, would definitely concur.  parents worry when there is no side from a child.  and, i get that completely.   kids are to "spongy" to not be out there in life getting into something and learning.   you learn best by doing and maybe even better by failing....think of the hot stove/hand example.

however, i really do feel that silence is golden.  for me, this phrase really hits home when i think of the media.  yes, and this includes old, new, social, and anti-social media.  how many times can i be bombarded with the same trivial, insignificant, "spun-up", boring, un-related new "stories".   is it just an excuse for all of us to not think of our own situations?   i mean i get the whole needing to escape from reality for a small period, but it seems like that is all that we have.   i don't know.   i think i really need to run some miles and have this shit roll out of my head.   :)   it just looks like crap outside and i am not really motivated.  :)

but, back to silence.  do we ever really have any?   do we ever really want any?  would we truly ever know what true silence was?   i mean there is always the voice inside your head, right? 

does your voice sound like your own physical voice?  or does it sound like your ideal voice? 
i have to be honest with you, but i really can tell you about my voice.  hmm, i wonder what would  a shrink would say about this train of 'thought'.  

anyways.   well, no time like the present to do something.  so, i guess it is time to get those miles logged for today.
