While I was in deep thoughts, the man in the salon asked if I wanted anything to read.
“No thanks,” I said.
“Do you want any magazines to read? I was scared that you are bored,” he replied.
“I’m fine, thanks. I’m just thinking about my life,” I joked.
He was stunned for few seconds. Then he joked, “that was an awesome answer. I do not know how to continue the conversation. Haha.”
Yet strange as it may sound, the conversation began. We talked from science communication to pesticides and to politics and so on.
The incident has prompted me with this thought – why do we need to do something all the time?
Could we consider stillness as “something to do”? This is perhaps something I lack while I was in Hong Kong.
My best times in prayers, are the time without words.
Being there with Christ is my favorite form of prayer.
And I find a similar enjoyment in my solitude time.
Being still and let inspirations come.
And perhaps because I have experienced more solitude these days that I have become more chatty when I meet people 😛
