It always comes back to silence for me. Taking myself to silence. Inviting others to silence. Frequently. Quiet our busy minds. Set aside our relentless chatter. Just be quiet. And then do something. And then get quiet again.*
Bob Stilger
We know our discourse is meaningful not by what we have said but by what has yet to be said. Soul draws our speech forward in the direction of the unspeakable. Only thus can it remain speech.**
James Carse
silence leans us towards
openness
awe
curiosity
discovery
humility
repleteness
wholeness
integration
activeness
becoming
