Whispers (Anthology "Little Wildflower" Part I)

Sometimes I say a lot of things about myself to you, and it doesn't bother you, right?

Always whispering, but never knowing whether these voices are listening or harsh in your ears – that's my fault.

Now it's up to you to speak. I don't ask a single question, I think about the meaning of every sentence you say from the beginning to the end. Hopefully, you'll be able to say something philosophical and thought-provoking!

But you seem to be in a hurry and don't know what to say. I smiled and didn't say a word, but when you were finished, I had the right to speak, or I would have broken my promise.

These were all whispered words, and no one but the two of us knew. So you can say whatever you want, like me.

If you are unhappy one day, disappointed, frustrated, sad, I want to tell you something in your ear, to tell you that there is no light in the night, there are stars; there is no snowflake drifting, you can usher in spring; even rain has its own beauty, and such beauty requires you to temporarily let go of the sun to feel. So we have to learn to let go of something in order to discover a whole new beauty in life.

This little whisper, of the 7.2 billion people who know, is only the two of us; the 9-square-meter hut we built together in the jungle has only one on the 9.6 million square kilometers of land. In this case, everything is unique, so why should we go with the flow? Please let go of worldly thinking, heal yourself in the heavens and the earth, and find hope and light that you have never seen before.
