A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
| Prompt: "The human heart has hidden treasures. In secret kept, in silence sealed. The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures. Whose charms were broken if revealed." Charlotte Brontë Write about this quote in your Blog entry today. --------- Thanks, Megan, for the quote and the prompt.  I love the phrase, "silence sealed." I love it because I think we need to keep to ourselves "what is the most valuable" and seal it in our hearts. Yes, the best and the most intimate parts of the heart contain that sealed silence as this phrase alone is Brontë's way of expressing that what is hidden is the most important. This is because we all carry a private world within each of us. Luckily for me, that private world does not make noise or show up unbidden at times; however, some people, for what I know, cannot keep anything secret, no matter how precious and how important it may be to them. For me, a hidden treasure gets its power since it is most beautiful when hidden, but its beauty is somehow tarnished when displayed. In my case, secret feelings, ambitions, and quiet joys like to stay unspoken partly because I shelter them from the world's judgment and interpretation. Do I feel lonely when I do this? I don't think so. This, of course, means some kind of a loneliness but not the type of loneliness I'd feel if I had no human contact. It is the kind of loneliness, I certainly cherish, maybe because some experiences are simply too personal, too nuanced, and too sacred to survive when put into words. After all, we all are on this journey of life and we might need some kept magic when our destination is reached. |
