An exploration of longing and landscape. Becoming as free and weightless as the wind.

Silence means to me…
Silence has never felt singular to me. It can be a refuge, a burden, a gesture of civility, a form of resistance, or a quiet suffering. At times, it even becomes a shared unspoken agreement, what some might call a quiet conspiracy of silence.
Though not an emotion in itself, silence often carries the weight of one.
Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh observed that true silence is not merely the absence of noise but freedom from the inner chatter that keeps us from being present. Perhaps that is why silence is so difficult to define.
The more I reflected on it, the more it seemed to reveal less about sound and more about the way we relate to ourselves, to others, and to what remains unsaid.

NaPoWriMo 2025 – Day 30
April Poetry Writing Month – Day 30
On the final day of April Poetry Writing Month 2025, I reflect on the experience of writing poetry for 30 days – using stream of consciousness, a literary technique masterfully employed by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a leading modernist author of the 20th Century.
This style allows thoughts to flow freely, unfiltered and spontaneous, capturing the inner workings of the mind in a realistic way.
Thank you (all) for pausing, reading, and supporting these poems throughout the journey.
