Silence

Silence

We cannot find God in noise and agitation.

Nature: trees, flowers, and grass grow in silence. The stars, the moon, and the sun move in silence.

What is essential is not what we say but what God tells us and what He tells others through us.

In silence He listens to us; in silence He speaks to our souls. In silence we are granted the privilege of listening to His voice.

Silence of our eyes.
Silence of our ears.
Silence of our mouths.
Silence of our minds.
...in the silence of the heart
God will speak.

---Mother Teresa, from No Greater Love

Silence is wonderful and after you can get your head to shut up the clutter and debris of nonesense, then the real inner guides come through. At least thats what I have found and I believe the main goal of meditation.

With so much auxillary noise and silent noise (how many wireless forms of energy are whizzing through our subconscious) its important to get into nature so you can hear yourself,

Thanks Matthew for the blog and thoughts...

I wanna get together soon!
