The river will flow again

The library doors will swing open, the orchestra will play once more

By Faisul Yaseen

Once upon a time, a river whispered with life. It was the heartbeat of a place that thrived in all its glory. One day, something happened and the river fell silent. The place became a mere echo of its former self.

It was like a powerful storm wreaking havoc on a peaceful forest. Except, instead of wind and rain, it was an unusual force that stripped away the beauty of nature. The once proud and green trees now stood bare and quiet, their voices muted under the weight of forced stillness. The river was suddenly dammed, its flow abruptly halted.

The dry riverbeds reflect the desolation of what is happening now. The fish, the plants, and everything that once thrived along its banks is in danger, on the verge of disappearing in this stillness. Then there was a grand library that was home to countless ancient books. It held history and culture of its people. Soon, the doors of the library were locked and the voices within its pages silenced.

The library was left without the whispers and the sounds of turning pages. An eerie stillness replaced the vibrancy it once possessed. This was more than just silence. This silence spoke volumes. This silence is palpable, hanging heavy in the air like a thick mist muffling all voices.

The once bustling markets, where the scent of world’s costliest spice mixed with the laughter of children, now only whisper eerily. The schools, colleges, and universities lie dormant, uncertain of what the future holds.

However, deep within this quietness, like a forest without leaves, the spring is patiently waiting for its turn. The roots run deep, reaching down below the surface. Life stirs within, even if it’s silenced for now. It carries the seeds of heritage, ready to bloom when the time is right.

It’s like an orchestra of silence. A symphony without its instruments remains silent, but the music resides within the souls of the musicians. The melody beats in their hearts, waiting for the day they can raise their instruments and let the music flow once again. In these enforced silences, we are just like those musicians, holding onto their songs and stories.

No one will ever forget the beautiful music that once emanated from here. We need to remember the sweet symphony that was abruptly cut short. In this silence, there is not only loss but also a sense of anticipation that words cannot describe. It’s the feeling that might just allow the river to flow again, the library doors to open, and the orchestra to play once more.

Imagine a bustling marketplace in ancient Rome. Merchants hawk their wares, toga-clad citizens rush about, and the aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air. But amidst the familiar chaos, whispers of a different belief ripple through the crowds. This is the story of Christianity in the Roman Empire, a tale of resilience, transformation, and the quiet revolution of a faith that rose from the shadows to become the official religion of a mighty empire...

The Quiet Revolution: How Journaling Became My Sanity Sanctuary

Unplug and unwind with the power of journaling. Discover how this simple habit can transform your life. #journaling #mentalhealth #selfcare #quietrevolution

Describe one habit that brings you joy. Uncovering the therapeutic power of putting pen to paper In a world that often feels like a relentless hamster wheel of noise and distraction, finding moments of peace and clarity can feel like a luxury. For me, that sanctuary has been journaling. It’s not about flowery prose or deep philosophical musings (though those have their place). It’s about…

Effects of noise pollution

Silencing the Sounds: Understanding and Addressing Noise Pollution

Noise pollution, often overlooked amidst the myriad environmental concerns, exerts profound effects on both human health and ecological balance. From bustling urban centers to remote natural habitats, noise permeates every corner of our world, altering landscapes and disrupting ecosystems.

At its core, noise pollution encompasses any unwanted or harmful sound that disturbs the peace and tranquility of an environment. The sources are diverse, ranging from industrial machinery and transportation to recreational activities and urban development. In urban areas, incessant traffic, construction work, and industrial activities generate a cacophony of noise, while in rural regions, agricultural machinery and mining operations contribute to the din.

The impacts of noise pollution on human health are multifaceted and far-reaching. Prolonged exposure to excessive noise levels can lead to a myriad of health problems, including hearing loss, elevated stress levels, sleep disturbances, and cardiovascular issues. Chronic noise exposure has been linked to increased blood pressure, heart disease, and impaired cognitive function. Moreover, noise pollution can exacerbate mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, as individuals struggle to find respite from the relentless clamor of modern life.

Children, in particular, are vulnerable to the adverse effects of noise pollution, as their developing auditory systems are more susceptible to damage. Exposure to loud noises during crucial stages of development can impede speech and language acquisition, hinder cognitive development, and contribute to learning difficulties.

Beyond its impact on human health, noise pollution disrupts ecosystems and imperils wildlife populations. Many species rely on acoustic signals for communication, navigation, and foraging. Excessive noise interferes with these vital behaviors, leading to disorientation, habitat displacement, and reduced reproductive success. Marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins, are especially vulnerable, as underwater noise from shipping, naval activities, and offshore drilling disrupts their communication and echolocation abilities, often with fatal consequences.

In terrestrial ecosystems, noise pollution alters animal behavior, disrupting feeding patterns, migration routes, and predator-prey dynamics. Birds, for example, may abandon nesting sites located near noisy environments, leading to population declines and ecological imbalance. In forests, the roar of chainsaws and heavy machinery disrupts the natural soundscape, driving away wildlife and compromising biodiversity.

Addressing the complex challenges posed by noise pollution requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses legislative measures, urban planning strategies, technological innovations, and public awareness campaigns. Noise regulations and zoning ordinances can help mitigate noise levels in urban and industrial areas, while the development of quieter technologies and soundproofing measures can minimize the impact of noise from transportation and industrial sources.

Urban planners can integrate green spaces, sound barriers, and noise-absorbing materials into urban design to create quieter, more livable environments. Moreover, public education and outreach efforts can raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural soundscapes and reducing noise emissions in everyday life.

Comprei esse livro há umas duas semanas, mas só vou poder começar a ler agora. Porque meu jovem quieto de 14 anos, que em geral não gosta de ler, pegou o livro assim que cheguei em casa com ele e leu inteiro. Então acho que o livro está aprovado, né? A autora diz que o livro foi planejado para poder ser lido por jovens a partir dos 12 anos. Consegui, a muito custo, que meu pequeno grande introvertido me dissesse duas palavras sobre o livro: Sim e Foi. Kkk Eu perguntei se ele gostou, e se o livro foi útil pra ele. Esse meu introvertido passa horas no computador desenhando em sua mesa digitalizadora, e faz desenhos e animações lindos! E ontem vendeu seu primeiro desenho pela internet: um retrato/avatar personalizado para alguém que ele não sabe bem como o encontrou. "O Poder dos Quietos para Jovens - Como fortalecer as capacidades secretas da nova geração de introvertidos" A propósito, aqui em casa somos três introvertidos e um ambivertido. PS1: Introversão não é timidez. 😉 PS2: Postagem de out/2018 do perfil pessoal, que agora reproduzo aqui.

We are more than a brand. "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first." Jim MORRISON We have to first change ourselves, then impact that change on others. Its a quiet revolution. At Revolution Clothing we will promote that change in ourselves and in everyone that joins us. No hate. Just love. #revolutionclothing #jimmorrison #revolutionaryquotes #lesshate #morelove #quietrevolution #bethechange #loverecolution #clothingbrand #newstart #newsetup (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2J-UcD96m/?igshid=opbh9tl3djlb
