Pablo Neruda And His Poem “To Keep Quiet “

“Silence” by Pablo Neruda may be one of the most beautiful poems ever written. Throughout the poem, he encourages us to keep quiet and motionless, even if only for a short time. It is also an invitation for us to participate in nature. It is about being reintroduced to our true essences so that we can all embrace kindness and respect. And that way, every piece that is out of place will fit in where it belongs.

The idea of ​​silence, or silence, is definitely a recurring theme in psychology. But we can not forget that the artistic and literary world has always given it a lot of value. Claude Debussy said that silence is nothing more than what is between one note and another. And in that way it is what gives so much power and beauty to every piece of music.

Jorge Luis Borges also talked about how the beauty and depth of silence is thought-provoking in one of his poems. He said that is what helps you remember who you are and what you love. But out of all these poetic and musical works, the message Neruda gave us ode to “Silence” stands out above all the others for some specific reason. It’s an invitation to stop moving, to pause the rotation of your inner gears, and to reconsider the empty, artificial meaning of things. He wanted you to remember what was most important…

Silence can be a good teacher

In general, we hate silence in the same way that nature hates open plains and will immediately fill them with bushes. Silence feeds our imagination, but it also makes us fall into deep holes of anxiety, or into a whirlwind of worry. We are just not used to it, nor are our cities: they are constantly full of the mechanical murmur of cars, shops that never close, and industries that never sleep…

We have forgotten that silence and silence have power. They have a lot to teach. They can even act as an enchantment and promote certain parts of you that you thought were lost. In his poems, Neruda brings out the idea of ​​reflecting as a group, no matter what language we speak. He says that, just as we do with children sometimes, we must count to twelve and keep quiet.

It is time for a break, to stop everything, he says. Now is the time to keep quiet, just for a second, and drop our arms and sink into a realm that we find uncomfortable most of the time: silence. Maybe by letting the silence calm you down, or the space between two notes that Debussy talked about, taking over, you become aware of what you are doing with your life. And with the world.

The poem “To be silent”

Nature as a synonym for kindness

Silence is a therapeutic tool that people often forget. But we can all benefit from using it much more often. Silence are times when your thoughts can calm down and where you can understand people better. Silence can also help you learn to be more compassionate and intimate with the people around you. This is because silence helps you listen and helps you look at things more closely and with greater attention.

And what Neruda does with this poem is to get silence and to keep quiet to seem more natural. He brings out our connection with the earth as something that brings us closer to our true selves. That’s because there’s no train or rush at that place, and no one is waging war. Natural things are fundamental to us too, they are the roots we need to connect with sometimes to reset our priorities or adjust our worldview and focus on what really matters.

What silence is in this beautiful poem is a life-giving wind that will encourage you to live differently. It is also there to help you understand yourself better, and be more respectful and transparent. There are not many cultural products that are so powerful with so little space. So you should think back to those who do it more often and shape a reality that is more beautiful, dignified and positive for everyone.

So try it out. Count to twelve and keep quiet… and let the silence embrace you.
