I was in the tube (subway over the pond) and I saw this couple kissing. Awwww, nice! It does my heart good to see love. Then, I realised the silence.
Now, it's hard to hear silence while hurtling along a maze underground on rickety metal tracks. But it was very much there. So I paid attention, and I also realised that the silence was not in the environment, or the people chatting. It was the couple, who had stopped giggling and cooing, and were just kissing.
Love is very quiet when we kiss.
It made me think (what doesn't?) and love the fact that while we can be all chatty when we are simply together, the deeper we connect, the less we need to say. We just communicate - silently, deeply, wholly.
So now, I'm going to be silent. Because I want you all to turn to all those you love and simply kiss them. Kiss your children, your spouse, your parent, your parents, your friends. Kiss them, but say not a word.
Because love needs no words.
