Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas- silence. The composer places it between and behind notes. The very ground of my being, out of which comes all my thoughts, is silence.
Today let me stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within me.
