Whispers of a silent universe

Sometimes, life doesn't speak in words but in signs.
In the flicker of a streetlamp,
in a song that plays on the radio by chance,
in the eyes of a stranger who appears at the exact moment you need them
life whispers something to you.
But most of the time, we’re so busy with the noise
that we fail to hear the quiet voice of the universe.

Yet the world begins to speak the moment we fall silent.
And some messages can only be heard in stillness.
That’s why certain answers hide in the deepest hours of the night,
or on the corners of lonely roads, waiting to be noticed.

A bird flies through the sky, keeping pace with your breath.
A breeze brushes your face just as a forgotten memory resurfaces.
A book, one you bought years ago but never opened, 
suddenly falls into your hands and whispers the exact sentence you need to hear.
These are all signs,
but only visible to those whose hearts are open.

Signs don’t speak directly.
They use the language of symbols, coincidences, and intuition.
So, you must open not just your eyes, but also your heart.
Because some things aren’t meant to be seen, they’re meant to be felt.
Some words don’t sound; they echo inside of us.

One day, just as you’re about to give up, someone calls you.
They say something that calms the storm within.
One day, something you thought you had lost comes back to you in a dream.
And you start to wonder, maybe everything happens for a reason.

That’s when the question grows:
“Does life really unfold randomly, or are we living inside a text we never learnt to read?”
Maybe life isn’t a story written from beginning to end
but a living poem, one that changes with every gaze, every pause.
And everything depends on how you read it.

A leaf falls to the ground; you just watch its descent.
But someone else sees in it the arrival of autumn.
A child cries; you call it noise.
But another hears a forgotten sound of their own soul in that cry.
A door closes; you feel disappointment.
But someone else knows it’s the sign of a new path opening.

Interpretation...
That’s why not every sign means the same to everyone.
Because beyond what’s visible, there is what’s understood by the heart.
And every soul understands only as much as it is ready for.

Understanding signs begins not with reading the outside world,
but with knowing your inner voice.
That voice, which sometimes stays silent, sometimes screams.
Sometimes it silences you to protect you,
sometimes it draws the path like a sign itself.

Sometimes, everything may seem fine on the outside,
yet a quiet unrest brews within.
That too is a sign.
A whisper from your soul that this place no longer holds you,
or that the story you’ve believed in no longer belongs to you.
But we often ignore that whisper because we are afraid.
Afraid to hear it, afraid to understand,
and perhaps most of all, afraid to change.

Yet signs do not come to frighten us,
but to awaken us.
Not to shake us, but to remind us
who we are,
what we love,
what we’ve forgotten.

Sometimes a person hears a word and cries.
Because that word recalls a love someone once whispered to them.
Sometimes someone says a sentence,
and in it, you find the silence you never dared to speak.

Some people enter our lives just to say one sentence.
Some moments exist only for one realisation.
And some places are visited just to shed one tear.

Secret messages are everywhere.
But sometimes you must lose something to start seeing them.
Because the clearest images emerge through blurriness.
And people learn to truly see
only when they are truly lost.

A star falls.
A prayer is made.
And that prayer maybe is answered through a subtle sign.
Or maybe it’s denied.
Even that is a sign:
The path leads elsewhere.

Even our dreams are filled with signs.
Especially the ones we never forget.
They are the language of our suppressed truths, our unspoken desires.
And sometimes, the symbol in a dream
is more real than any message we receive while awake.

Then one day, you begin to connect all the signs.
Over time, a pattern forms.
And you realise nothing was ever truly random.
The crossings, the goodbyes, the silences hiding screams...
Maybe they were all part of a plan.
But that plan is being written by you.
And every new realisation reveals another hidden line in that script.

Signs...
They are whispers of miracles.
And you only hear them when you pause.
You understand them when you listen.
And once you understand,
the world becomes a more meaningful place.

So next time
when a butterfly crosses your path,
when light filters in through your window,
or when a stranger utters a single sentence
remember:
it may be the universe sending you another letter.

Open it.
Read it.
And never forget:
Sometimes destiny is just a glance away.
But to see that glance, you don’t need your eyes—only your heart.
