A silent morning walk

Gland - Vaud (Switzerland)

Some seem to be afraid of silence, as if it were a dangerous place of the spirit, suspended on an abyss, which must necessarily be filled with sounds and words.
In fact, I also believe that I would be frightened by absolute silence, which fortunately I do not think exists in nature at all, thanks to the atmosphere that allows sounds, even the faintest, to spread.
When I speak of silence, I do not mean the total absence of sounds, which I can only imagine as distressing, but the welcome absence of unpleasant noises and voices.
Silence, understood in my sense, is rich in virtues and generates introspective reflection or, simply, peace of mind.
I am reminded of a film by the great Italian director Federico Fellini, entitled, if I remember exactly, "the Voice of the Moon". At one point, one of the protagonists said "Hush, let's have a little silence. If everyone did a little silence, we would finally be able to understand something."
I like to walk alone, along a country lane, accompanied only by a distant echo of muffled sounds, the song of the wind among the leaves and the croaking of invisible crows.
It really is a great way, even for my limited mind, to start understanding something.



If a kind visitor had the curiosity to know what else I do, besides walking around and taking pictures...

I can imagine walking down this path and enjoying the quiet only I would have my dogs with me. They too enjoy a quiet walk and it’s fun to watch them stop and listen for things that I can not hear.
A lovely photo.

There are so many 'sounds of silence', and I can definitely understand what you are exploring with your text. Silence is precious. Your lovely shot pairs well with the text. V

The images that you capture embellish your mood
and beauty of the surroundings.

An apt image to back up your thoughts on "silence."
