Silence

There was a tranquil silence, except for the oar’s gentle splash, and the swishing noise of the vessel’s bow gliding through the calm water.

There was a feeling of serenity and contentment in being alone in the early morning mist. He was in his own peaceful world travelling quietly, and effortlessly in the same manner as his forefathers.

The shore was not yet in sight, as he began to imagine what it would be like to be berthing in a land, where peace and harmony were in abundance, and hunger and poverty were non-existent.

It is natural for people to help each other. They share what they have, and alleviate the suffering of others when they can. It is the general way of mankind, but it is not always obvious.

The kindest and most benevolent people in the world are less likely to be seen, or heard, just like a boat gliding gently through calm water in the early morning mist.
