Silence

• Silence allows ceding the word to grace, to goodness, to God.

• Silence yields the floor to truth… sometimes.

• In silence we may find that which we seek, and that which we need.

• Searched, silence and space may reveal treasures, once clutter and chatter are sorted and weeded out.

• We listen better when we shut down machines, media, mouths, and minds. Even music, sometimes.

• In meditation, the soft sound of the bell slips into the sighing silence of simply sitting.

• We can say ‘yes’ to silence, and ‘yes’ to symphonies.
