...

Some silences are louder than a waterfall of criticism.
Others are as quiet as a hug.
Some are very bold silences, while others... They can be as meek as a bad lie.
Some people are silent as long as they live.
Others are so loud even their silences ring in peoples ears.
Some are mere pauses, some are even pregnant but soon give birth to the steady rush and flow of conversations.
Every now and then in my classroom at lunch, in the middle of a loud classroom discussion, everyone stops talking at the same exact moment, but just a moment squeezes past our words that blocked the way before they continue once the air turns green.
Some silences are loud, while others....
Others are just silences.
