Silence

Silence. What is the definition of silence? Is it sitting on your
front porch at sundown with the crickets chirping? Or is it sitting in
your room all alone with no one else in the house just thinking? Why is
silence so hard to find? Do they not want you to think? Or do they not
want you to think so you can get your thoughts straight and then break
the silence? Or is it break the noise?
