Quiet

It's quiet now.  So quiet that you can almost hear other people's dreams.

~ Gayle Forman

I love the quiet.  Peace.  Calm.  

I really love enjoying quiet with other people.  That might seem counterintuitive, but when you are with someone and neither of you needs to say anything and you are just being.  Maybe reading.  Maybe sitting.  Maybe thinking.  Maybe walking.  Not talking.  Not disturbed.  

Although if I could hear other people's dreams, I think that would break the quietude.  Especially if I heard the dream Leslie had where aliens invaded her house.  That would not be quiet or peaceful or calming.

I just hope it really was a dream and not reality.  That would be even more disquieting.
