Thaissa, this is an amazing piece! I appreciate the tremendous effort this must have taken. I love all the quoted works you shared with us, each one fitting perfectly with the whole.
I love that you have wholeheartedly released 'perhaps', to allow yourself to BE fully in your light. I have seen these words echoed in many places as we start the year (including my own heart) and it lifts me up and offers hope.
I love the pictures you shared, brief glimpses into the things you find beautiful. I hope you share more of them in the future. xox
-- Oh, Donna! Thank you so much for your precious words. This piece was born about a month ago and shaped itself. Yes, it took great effort, but I loved every single minute of it. Every sentence brought me closer to myself and my core.
It’s a multifaceted essay; there is so much more to it than what appears on the surface. In my view, silence is a profound canvas echoing unspoken stories. It’s a language of its own, resonating with the depth of contemplation, offering solace and understanding where words may falter.
I’m glad you liked the photos because your comment on IG inspired me even more to share the second one. I appreciate you, as a writer and as a being 🤍. Xo.
Your words on silence echo my sentiments, I crave it and am off balance if I go too many days without. It’s where the magic lives.
Yes, I plan to revisit this essay to plumb the depths as there is so much there. One could take each sentence into contemplation as a stand alone meditation❤️
-- For some reason, whenever I meditate in English, it feels incredibly native to my soul. It’s a remarkable experience that flows serenely, bringing me peace and harmony. I hope, whenever you revisit, you can feel embraced by silence once again. Xo.
-- From my viewpoint, the interplay of flow, time, and inspiration intricately weaves the fabric of creativity shaping our temporal experience. I’ve strived to skillfully delve into the convergence of these elements, offering profound insights into how they dynamically propel my ideas from inception to fruition. Xo.
-- In crafting this essay, my plan was to delve into the nuanced world of silence, attempting to unravel its depth and significance. It’s a compelling exploration that prompts reflection on the power of the unspoken. I aim to appreciate all the seemingly small moments that hold the power to shape our lives profoundly, leaving enduring impacts that we might not fully grasp in the present. I’m glad the content resonated with you, and I’m grateful for your kind words! 🌟 Xo.

Thaissa! How wonderful to see an essay from you! We were traveling when it came in and I realized how deep it would be so saved it for tonight, with a quiet house. And WOW. What a gift to journey through your mind. I felt I was in a slip stream through the Milky Way, full speed ahead. Thank you.
-- Isabel ✨️! Your heartfelt recognition is deeply cherished. Hearing these words from a trusted end adds even more meaning to my writing. Thank you for letting me know about your attentiveness. Choosing a tranquil setting to absorb my words resonates with my appreciation for such moments.
In my vision, it’s within the silence that the subtle nuances of our inner world come to life, serving as an enabler for the unspoken to take form — fostering peace and understanding in the absence. Seeing and saying — fully.
I genuinely value your perception of the depth in my writing, and it warms my heart that you already recognize a tone in my words. Crafting a unique voice is the essence of being a writer, and your acknowledgment profoundly resonates with me. Despite my intention to keep it 'simple,' my mind doesn’t always comply. But that’s who I am, and I accept my gift as it is, while investing time and effort in improving it.
I truly hope the journey through the 'Milky Way' was enjoyable and comprehensible. As the New Year unfolds, may joy envelop you, Belíssima, and the entire family. May it also bring more words and inspiration for both of us! I am grateful to have you in my life 🤍! Xo.

"The figurative language doesn’t truly soften when viewed from the perspective of a patient, especially one grappling with chronic pain — a struggle I’m intimately acquainted with. It makes one more sensible, more resilient — undoubtedly. It cultivates a heightened sense of empathy and lucidity. It becomes clear-cut to perceive the good in all steps of the fight when one rides through that every single day themselves. The adventure of learning; the spice of being."
its hard to single out any of this as emblematic of any particular part of larger poetic seeking interested soul but you are a seducer and lover of words you conjure them and there is even in the spiritual almost a sense of with-holding in the physical expression of inner demands hmmmm perhaps too early to figure all that out but this is such a splendid way to greet a new year
and with such an effort of awareness of using words like watercolor paints exuberantly to xcelebrate the abstract yearningw we all feel cheese breads and "portuguese" ha
delightful 2024 to you of release discovery adventure xox
-- Oh, A.K., I found myself revisiting your comment multiple times before penning a fitting response.
Your insights penetrate the core of my essay, capturing nuances and emotions I endeavored to convey. Experiencing a reader connect with the narrative on such a profound level is immensely gratifying. Thank you for dedicating your time and thoughts — it significantly enhances the writing experience.
Your comment serves as a guiding compass through the depths of my own words. It’s apparent you not only read but absorbed the essence of the points, peeling back layers that amplify the fulfillment of the writing process. Your engagement is a literary gift, and I genuinely appreciate your perceptive reflections. ✨
By the way, next time, please hit the little 🤍 button, man. Xo.
Thaíssa, I was so excited when this hit my inbox that I started reading it as Delilah was dragging me down the sidewalk -- coffee dripping on both of us.
I so love your thoughts on silence. I'm someone who has always needed silence throughout my day. It's so powerful and I've found it to be the most effective way to recharge. In my Kundalini classes, the teacher talks about how she spends hours in silence - not reading or listening to music - just sitting. That scares me a bit, but maybe because I know how joyous it must be.
Thank you for all the glorious quotes sprinkled throughout. But my favorite is the one about you: “You, Thaíssa, eagerly experience what you love, even if you stand alone in doing so. I admire your uniqueness.” What a stunning way to walk through this life. Thank you for setting this example. Happy New Year to you and yours. XO.
-- Oh, Carol, you warmed my heart inside. I can vividly imagine the whole scene involving Delilah, haha! I love you both. I hope that one day I can treat you to coffee in person, just for your kindness in writing such a special comment.
I faced some struggles with this one. It was finished last week, but then I decided to send it first to an English friend who works in the arts. I trusted her encouragement, and finally, I published it. I’ve been eager to delve deep into silence for a while now. It’s such a profound language, often speaking volumes and revealing emotions and thoughts that words may struggle to convey. I hope I portrayed it well.
Thank you, and I reiterate my wishes from yesterday 🤍! Xo.
I have been waiting to see more from you Thaissa and it seems like I missed this and your next piece! This is stunningly... can I say beautiful? Or should I just say that it spoke to the quiet parts in me and gave me a moment, or more, or silence. Your writing is so vibrant and poetic and emotional. You truly are an inspired writer. I love all the quotes you have here too, I so appreciate the effort of finding the perfect quote and you have found so many perfect ones. Thank you for this piece.
-- Arty, your generous words resonate deeply, and I’m truly moved by your appreciation for the poetry and vibrancy within my writing. It’s a profound joy to hear that the piece spoke to the quieter parts of you and evoked moments of silence. Poetry, for me, is a swell of emotions and words — an exploration of the intricate human experience.
Your recognition of the effort in selecting quotes warms my heart. Each quote is a carefully chosen brushstroke, adding depth to the canvas of expression. I’m grateful for your sensitivity to these nuances.
Your encouragement fuels my passion for infusing vitality into words, and I’m honored to have shared a meaningful moment with you. Thank you for embracing the poetic journey with me, and I look forward to continuing this exploration of beauty and emotion through the written word. 🤎 xo.
-- Oh, Michael, your presence here is truly humbling. I firmly believe that the depth of a piece lies in its capacity to transcend the surface, beckoning both the writer and readers into a profound exploration. It goes beyond mere words or visuals, delving into emotions, complexities, and layers of meaning. A deep piece resonates, leaving an enduring imprint on the observer’s mind. Achieving this often demands meticulous crafting, intricate details, and a nuanced understanding of the subject matter. Depth isn’t solely about complexity but also about the richness of connection it forges, encouraging contemplation, introspection, or an emotional response that extends beyond the immediate encounter with the work. ✨️ Xo.
Yup, lotta hard work to produce a lovely piece. I hope you can do something akin for Suzanne Taylors brilliant Essay concept/competition. Peace, Maurice
-- Absolutely, Maurice! The journey of creating a truly compelling piece delves into the depths of one’s passion and commitment. Your acknowledgment of the inherent effort resonates profoundly. Thank you for your generous kindness. Xo.
Present and prepared. I feel courage in your writing. Full accountability of what it is to be human, to create, to embrace vulnerability and pursue regardless. I love the insight of each moment being a new beginning, I have yet to dive deep into your writing and thank you for inviting me here. Thank you for sharing your world. So much beauty in every nook and cranny. Silence is a beg one, from the book the Thunder of Silence; Silence is pertained to as GOD.
Silence is ultimate peace, silence is where wakefulness to the truth arises.
I love pockets of silences ❤️
May your heart be at ease and at peace in each waking conscious second.
Silence—a canvas of unspoken nuances—speaks volumes in its subtlety. A sanctuary, shielding thoughts from external clamor; a vast expanse where vulnerability finds its voice. In the pauses between words, the profound essence of existence unfolds, reminding us that silence, too, is a form of expression.
It demands acknowledgment, inviting one to step into the light, transforming silence into a stage for courage and accountability. In the quietude, introspection takes root, nurturing the seeds of self-discovery. A space where the mind, freed from all the rest, engages in a dialogue with its own depths.
Your presence warms the virtual space we share, Paolo. Deep love. 🤍 Xo.
