Fill the silence

I woke this morning with a phrase on my lips. Not my typical fading remnants of an elaborate dream, not a person's face, not even a proper sentence. Just a single phrase.

"Fill the silence"

These three words filled my mind, repeating over and over, insisting. Not only is this in-and-of-itself strange, but even more so considering that I have spent the last year trying to learn to relax, slow down, and accept the silence. My life is no longer a chaotic tangle of friends, drama, etc. and that's ok.

Apparently now i'm not supposed to be ok with silence -- i'm supposed to 'fill' it.

With what? My voice, written words (yea blog!), photography? Let's find out.
