“Before falling to the ground, the rain has touched the sky.” ― Charles de Leusse

 “Or winters when the sloughs were frozen over and dead and I could walk across the ice and snow between the dead cattails and see nothing but grey skies and dead things and cold.”

― Robert M. Pirsig

Silence reveals itself only to itself. Only when we enter as nothing and stay as nothing, will silence open its secret
~ Adyashanti

Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“Why are you so afraid of silence,
silence is the root of everything.
If you spiral into its void,
a hundred voices will thunder
messages you long to hear.”
~ Rumi
