“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.” Mother Teresa

“Let all the earth keep silence before HIm.” Hab.2

I am probably addicted to activity. I also have tendencies to fill moments of silence, with talking or playing music. There is nothing wrong with any of these things unless they keep me from experiencing the wonderful value of just being quiet. It is probably wise to build into the rhythms of my day moments of silence--no meditation, planning, or thinking of any kind, just resting in peace and quiet. Conversations Within” ts 9/10/2015
