In every day, there is a hidden doorway between noise and silence. Noise is not only what we hear — it is also our racing thoughts, our restless worries, the endless scroll of things that do not matter. Silence is not only the absence of sound — it is the space where the self finally breathes.
When we dare to pause, even for a moment, we enter that doorway. We realize that clarity is not given to us by the world, but uncovered within us. To live with awareness is not to escape noise, but to choose silence even while the world is loud.
The question is not whether we can find silence. The question is whether we are brave enough to stay there.
