(Isang malikot na pagmumuni-muni) Pa’no mo tutuldukan ang katahimikan kung ito’y walang salita? Ito nga ba’y matatawag nang “tahimik” dahil lamang sa kawalan ng salita? Sa kanyang kawalan ng salita, ito ba’y umiiral (existing)? Pag nilagyan ng tuldok ang isang bagay na hindi umiiral, anung naroon kundi tuldok rin lamang… Alam natin ang hitsura ng tuldok. Ano ang hitsura ng katahimikan?
