There is something greater and purer than what the mouth utters.
Silence illuminates our souls,
whispers to our hearts,
and brings them together.
Silence separates us from ourselves,
makes us sail the firmament of spirit,
and brings us closer to heaven.
~ Kahlil Gibran

Silence is the communing of a conscious soul with itself.
If the soul attend for a moment to its own infinity,
then and there is silence.
She is audible to all men, at all times, in all places, and if we will
we may always hearken to her admonitions.
~ Henry David Thoreau

My friend, I am not what I seem.
Seeming is but a garment I wear --
a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings
and thee from my negligence.
The “I” in me, my friend,
dwells in the house of silence,
and therein it shall remain for ever more,
unperceived, unapproachable.”
~ Kahlil Gibran

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark.
The small truth has words which are clear;
the great truth has great silence.”
~ Rabindranath Tagore

A day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.

A day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
In marvelous lute and drum.

Is not most talking
A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?

I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,

To yield to Light and Happiness,

To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!
~ Hafiz   ‘I Heard God Laughing’
[translation: Daniel Ladinsky]

In the silence of the heart God speaks.
If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you.
Then you will know that you are nothing.
It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness,
that God can fill you with Himself.
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.”
~ Mother Teresa

Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.”..
“Let silence take you to the core of life.
~ Rumi

Silence is the language of God,
all else is poor translation.
~ Rumi

AFTERNOON

An invitation to create
… by newoma

From this human condition...
we are drawn into a deep unknowing
in the purity of God....

a cloud of unknowing that surrounds and opens the way
into the mystical existence of the divine.....

when all our words and rituals and icons fall away
and we enter into Oneness
by faith and grace......

...we cross over into a vast and invisible
communion of awareness
of pure Spirit ....
in which we truly are Home....

a way of Being that is timeless…and eternal..

God moves in this great spacelessness 
and creates a world of natural beauty 
where we can experience Life.....
by embracing the Joy of creating....

of otherness....
of great love ....and union...
the lightness of play 
and the richness of feeling...
taste...touch....sight...sound...smell.......

a glorious visionary journey 
of sharing and creating together...

discovering uniqueness 
in the Light of being human......

an extraordinary expression 
of kindness and loving
interaction and relationship...

I pray we might evolve 
into this phenomenal invitation 
and realize the truly glorious
 and ultimate gift of life 

by welcoming love 
as the ultimate expression 
of being....
