The Salt Cave, the Silence, and Me

 

🌿 The Quiet Between Us

Stop explaining yourself. Stay silent. Your silence is strength.

On Friday, I went to the salt cave.
About twenty people gathered there for the same reason: one hour of stillness, healing air, and a moment to simply breathe.

I went with my best friend—the one I’ve known for thirty‑seven years. We met at school, back when silence felt impossible. We talked and talked and talked, as if words were oxygen and the world would collapse if we stopped.

But time has its own sense of humor. Now we are both grumpy warriors — tired, wiser, softer in the places that matter.

And the miracle is this: we no longer need to talk.

We sit together in the salt-lit quiet, breathing the same healing air, understanding everything without saying anything.

There is a kind of friendship
that grows stronger in silence.
A friendship where presence is enough,
where nothing needs to be explained,
and where the quiet between two people
feels like a warm, familiar room.

We enjoy that silence now. We trust it. We let it hold us.

Because after thirty‑seven years, words are optional. But the bond is not.

After this evening, I thought about silence a lot. And so I created a video: “Stop Explaining: 🔥 8 Reasons Silence Makes You Stronger.” You can find it on my YouTube channel.
