I wasn't going to participate in the weekend engagement this week because I haven't had much to really share. However, I felt the urge to share my somewhat crazy weekend with the weekend community. So! here we go.
Have you ever sat and listened to the silence around you and it's so quiet it actually hurts your ears? sounds a bit weird, I know, but I don't know how else to put it otherwise, so I will just tell you what I experienced this past weekend in my own words and what I think I reflected out of it as a creative person.
It all started on Saturday morning when Peter, my husband came back from the store. He sounded a bit concerned that there were so few people at the Grocery Store at the local Mall, even the car park was fairly empty he continued to explain.
Mmmm!.....that's strange! on a Saturday morning, especially around 11am the place is in a buzz, and is difficult to find parking.
Must be a number of reasons for the phenomenon, I thought, my mind twirling around like a whirl wind inside my head.

Dwelling in the silence, with all sorts of wonderful and weird things playing through my mind, I went and sat in the garden with a cup of tea, quite aware of the essence of the stillness.
To be honest, I haven't heard the birds chirping or airplanes flying over towards the airport, or the sound of the next door neighbors kids playing in their yard; just absolute total silence, even the trees were still and didn't move; It wasn't a hot day at all, it was cloudy and cool actually, so what could the reason be I wonder?
I walked around the garden, my mind doing summersaults and my imagination running amok with all sorts of weird theories and explanations, it just felt so airy almost hearing some kind of dramatic music out of some mystery drama film playing out in my mind. As it is, I have quite a "vivid" imagination. Lol!! Omg! I admit I'm a bit of a drama queen.
Even my friends the monkey's were sitting still up in the trees with no intention to move, or tease the dogs like they normally do.
My fur children, just sat there waiting in anticipation for the run around which their monkey friends were not in the mood for today.
I watched as Peter stared out into the garden from the dinning room. I wondered if he had the same thoughts as me? What was he thinking?
We both are creative people and I must admit, nothing creative has been happening in our lives lately, our creativity has become silent like the day, our inspiration seems to have evaporated into thin air, OK! I think it's still there ,maybe just lacking a little enthusiasm most likely.
Have I allowed so much noise in my head lately that I haven't noticed the silence? It's important I think , to be still, to hear what it has to communicate with you, I really don't have the answer, waiting in anticipation for the answer.
I ask myself, have I allowed the noisy world to drown out my creativity and this is a way of "Mother Earth" communicating the importance of silence to regenerate and inspire my creativity and nurture my soul? I can only but wonder.
My weekend in silence, nothing much happened, perhaps just a little soul searching and finding inspiration in this crazy world of ours.
I'm sure I'll find the answer soon.
I thank you for allowing me to share my weekend with you, and thank you 
Until next weekend, have a great week.
