“True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit. What sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.” – William Penn
There are many quotes about the power of silence all around us. And I’m not talking about the silence that comes from pouting or from being in a funk. I’m talking about the silence that our Soul needs. The silence that clears the mind. That which allows the Spirit to settle and therefore grow.
In our daily encounters, we meet a lot of noise. Be it from machines, or from human chit chat. Sometimes the noise is productive while at other times, it distracts.
“We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature — trees, flowers, grass — grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.” – Mother Teresa
I believe that Mother Teresa hit the nail on the head with the quote above. Never have the sounds in a forest been classified as ‘noise’!
What’s my point in saying all this? Let me try a quote…
“Learn to not be afraid when you have nothing to say, because that is when you need to say the least.” – Muse with Nj
Do not be afraid of me
I can only help if you let me.
Yours truly,
Silence
I must say that there are so many people who have touched my life in their silence….
They have even evangelized/preached to me through their silence…..
