Sharing silence time

 I don't believe that only dialogue can connect with others in a meeting. Silent time is also a way to check a connection between me and others.

 

There are people who can't stand silence when they meet. Of course, long silence is hard for me, too. But isn't it okay to look outside for a moment and savor a sip of tea when the conversation is cut off?

There were times when I believed that silence belonged to an extremely personal sphere. Maybe that's why silence with the other person was awkward in the past.
Now, I believe that silence can be as much communication as a conversation. It is certainly meaningful to share the same airflow quietly for the same time in the same space.
