"When truth is replaced by silence,
the silence is a lie."
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Communication is the key to relationships whether personal or professional. No matter near or far, people create bonds through sharing words. There are instances where we may not connect with a person for a lengthy time, but if our sharing of words have previously been strong, we will remain in sync.
When words do not flow and a silence quietly enters. If it is not addressed, the presence of silence becomes louder than words. As space expands, our suspicions may become excessively over exaggerated or denial and avoidance settle in.
As we read this, perhaps certain people pop up in our memories. Life is too short to not reach out. It doesn't matter who was right or wrong, but a final gesture will bring closure to the deadly silence. We can reach out in prayer, a brief note or secure a well over due lunch date. It doesn't matter if we bid each other farewell or begin again, our communication will close the void and the energy can be used elsewhere.
