 Silence





Days Of Healing Days Of Joy      

Every day I take more pleasure in my own company.
Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves............Thomas Carlyle

There is great power & wisdom in growing to the point where silence becomes our friend. It is in silence that we best listen & a great portion of life's best secrets can only be learned in silence.
Those running from themselves & the hurtful lessons of the past fear silence more than any other reality................They fear they may hear themselves in that silence. Such people are always lonely~whether alone or surrounded by multitudes.
In reality if we stand still & be quiet the word we hear softly spoken in the inner court of our own castle is full of beauty & loveliness.
If we listen we will learn that we are not bad that we are not disgusting failure ridden people & we are not powerless. Quite the contrary there is much that is right & noble about us..............
Alone or lonely it is a matter of courting silence or not.
