Ode to Silence

Silence is a precious commodity.

Often we speak enormous amount of energy
sometimes trying to hard, in wanting to express opinions
wanting to be understood and not mistaken
perhaps wanting to persuade...even to share

do we forget to be more gentle
more respectful and allow space of quiet
quiet to settle ripples so all ease into balance and harmony
so there's no forced effort but a natural sense of serenity

when are words necessary
when is it good to conserve
to listen within self

in the film 1 Giant Leap
there was one passage that touches me deeply :

i want to know who is the person that takes care of me...
he talks when i stop talking, then i found i was only breathing
and everything begin to dissolve

only silence remains
but i have to listen
i have to listen to the silence
the deep surrender and ... that's cool.


i want to thank all who have shed light on wisdom in being silent
my true Gurus in life, the open beauty of nature, the trust in children and animal's eyes
the few but precious words that sink in deep that which speaks to my inner being
it is with great appreciation and gratitude that i walk this path with humble steps

dialogue starts within
from the soul
from the heart

breathing is the deepest truth
and i am happy to come to understand this.
