...having nothing better to do, meandered off to a coffee shop and sat facing each other for a couple of hours, neither of them talking much but each coming to the general conclusion that the other was a person rather like himself...

The silence wasn't uncomfortable or hostile but exhausted--the quiet of people who have a great deal to think about but not a hell of a lot to say.

I just wish you could see my demons for what they are, and lay here beside me on the floor. No words. Just your presence.

There was silence in her head and silence beneath her window, and still she could not sleep.

In this land
I have made myself sick with silence
In this land
I have wandered, lost
In this land
I hunkered down to see
What will become of me.
In this land
I held myself tight
So as not to scream.
-But I did scream, so loud
That this land howled back at me
As hideously
As it builds its houses.
In this land
I have been sown
Only my head sticks
Defiant, out of the earth
But one day it too will be mown
Making me, finally
Of this land.
-Charlie's poem

We refuse to turn off our computers, turn off our phone, log off Facebook, and just sit in silence, because in those moments we might actually have to face up to who we really are.

Yeşil kokular saçan nemli bir sessizlikti bu, karanlık bir sessizlikti, çeşitli engebeleri, çeşitli kapıları ve koridorları varmış gibi görünen derin ve meçhul bir sessizlikti ve Ziya o anda bu sessizliğin gelip içine dolduğunu hissediyordu adeta. Derken, bir daha asla var olmayacak olan yeryüzünün ilk sessizliğini düşündü orada ve yanı başında oturan birisi varmış gibi, hakikaten, acaba o sessizlik nasıl bir şeydi, diye mırıldandı. Sonra, yoksa daha sonraki sessizliklerin hepsi irili ufaklı parçalar halinde hep o yeryüzünün ilk sessizliğinden mi kopup geliyor diye düşündü bir süre. Hatta bazı sessizlik çeşitlerini de geçirdi içinden; bir çocuk telaşıyla, acı sessizlik, ıslak sessizlik, derin sessizlik, ince sessizlik, ağır sessizlik, uzak sessizlik, dolu sessizlik, sıcak sessizlik diye peş peşe bir hayli saydı.

Hasan Ali Toptaş

Not every loss was confirmed by an officer at the door. Nor a telegram with the power to sink a fleet. Loss, often the worst kind, also arrived through the deafening quiet of an absence.

So many words get lost. They leave the mouth and lose their courage, wandering aimlessly until they are swept into the gutter like dead leaves.
