“Silences make the real
conversations between friends.
Not the saying but the never needing
to say is what counts.”

If I don't speak for a while people think I'm scheme-ing something.
Discussing / talking / communicating is extremely important. When you're silent, others might indeed think you're sulked or 'scheme-ing something', as you say. I'd rather say you appreciate the sound of silence, like I do. Although I say I can't shut up, I can remain speechless for hours, just listening. I don't have many friends but I can sit with them without feeling the need to say anything whatsoever. We then breathe together and understand each other without needing to utter a single word. Of course, the same can happen between lovers, supposing lovers are friends, first of all.
That's true intimacy when you don't feel the need to speak and in fact a lot of the time you are speaking silently. Its weird but it is so.
Ένα χαμόγελο, τότε άλλος και ακόμη ένας
Ecrire de jolis poèmes,
Pour toi je peux
Un sourire ne coûte rien et produit beaucoup.
Il enrichit ceux qui le reçoivent, sans appauvrir ceux qui le donnent.
Il ne dure qu'un instant mais son souvenir est parfois éternel.
Personne n'est assez riche pour pouvoir s'en passer.
Personne n'est trop pauvre pour ne pas le donner.
Il est le signe sensible de l'amitié.
Un sourire donne du repos à l'être fatigué.
Un sourire rend du courage au plus découragé.
Si quelquefois vous rencontrez une personne qui ne vous donne pas
le sourire que vous méritez, soyez généreux, donnez lui le vôtre.
Je t’adresse un sourire, puis un autre et encore un je ne suis pas avare autant que tu le souhaite
Did.
Oh merci infiniment, Did :-))
Contagieux et réciproque!
You're right, Pat, it is weird but true. Smiling says it all too, like Crabtree was just commenting oh so poetically.
This is what I mean when I tell my daughter to SHUT UP
