Comments / Points on Thalia Field Story

The introduction is one of two people in comfortable chairs sharing an uncomfortable silence. Realizing or implying that it might be easy to equate the silence to an imptiness or nothingness, the author request that we get beyond the silence and relize there is much to celebrate. The author makes thecp,,emt "I won't pick up the looks you flick onto the rug between us." So we see despite the silence there is definitely activity in the room.
The author compares that in 30 minutes he / she would go into the streets and despite the fact no one is speaking to him / her, they would never refer to the situation as silent.

The author compares sitting in the room without speaking to paying for a parking place without owning a car. The author suggest that if we dont spend money when we waste words we should consider the choice to not use words. This suggest that we can communicate without words also.
