Silence and Speech

Nowadays there is a tendency to produce more in limited amount of time – to the point that if one chooses to take a ‘pause’, one is thrown off the race. For me, pause is a zone of silence. And this zone can have the potential to create beautiful things. 

Silence is a state of mind. Silence should be encouraged whenever and wherever possible. What does silence mean?
