Uncomfortable Silences

Today I am sitting in a meeting at work when one of my bosses starts talking about embracing the "uncomfortable silences." My brain instantly left the room and wandered on a separate journey...one that only included only me and my thoughts, my worries, my fears, my need to fill in the blanks for everyone around me, how I do not let the silences speak for themselves. Its been months since my last post, months since my last work, months since I've been in my studio, months of silence. Inspiration is around but scattered, leaving me to over illustrate my past self as a resume to fill the now existing silence...really all I need to do is embrace it, let it exist, in others, in me...its not something that needs to be fixed or filled, but rather allowed to exist...one may be amazed at what the next noise may actually bring. Suddenly I want to listen more then I speak...
