"Growth takes place in a person by working at a deep inner level in a sustained atmosphere of silence."
-- Dr. Ira Progoff
How can we hear our wise voice of intuition if we are always thinking, talking and distracted by outer events?
If we take time daily to experience physical stillness and to direct our attention inside, we can begin to find the peace, love, will and wisdom that exist as our essence.
"Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others... And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude."
-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation, and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way."
-- Angeles Arrien

Loved these quotes. Awe Silence, I am, at times learning to be a Student of Silence.
I have observed in the past, and concluded, that when I am with someone, a trusted friend, I have acquired this love, of the Silent spaces that are there, in our visits, and seem to really enjoy them more that when we are engaging in conversations, and just as you have stated, in that silence that there is somehow more Power to those moments, that when we are speaking. It is mysterious, and wonderful.
Thank you so much for bringing this Topic to the Board today.
