The Silence of Sound
For the Ones Who Plan Because They’re Scared to Fall.
Rakshak Anand
February 20, 2025
Ever felt stuck between two truths?
I look around, and we are drowning in strategies for living.
Living like architects obsessed with blueprints, terrified of the wind that might blow the plan away.
Too much control? You’re a robot.
Too much surrender? You’re a feather.
How do you hold control and surrender—without breaking?
The art is in becoming a kite.
Designed to be held back to fly, yet free enough to dance with the wind.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."
Perhaps you’re meant to be both—
The architect who draws the path.
And the wanderer who discovers it was never the path that mattered, but the walking.
Maybe the plan was always the letting go.
Maybe the letting go was the plan.
