The Wisdom In Silence

© 2009 Howard McQueenAll life arises out of the sacredness and pregnancy of Silence.Constant chattering breaks the silence, clutters up the purity.In many ways, you harm yourself by dwelling on the surface layer, constantly reporting and regurgitating your surface feelings and impressions.The parade of images is like the weather, not under your control and ever-changing -- so step back from this pre-occupation with verbally validating your external fascination and agitation.These things are best left alone, not dwelled upon and amplified.Left alone, perhaps, you can take on the practice of quieting your mind.Be still, rest in the silence and concentrate your awareness.Cultivate the great universal depth where the quality of vitality is not boastful, not prone to broadcast, not adolescent in its need to constantly plead “look at me”.MMMMMMmmmmmm.Take delight in the Silence. It is always accessible, ever-present and ever-nourishing.It is your refuge and port of call, during the storms inevitably to call.Invite in, welcome and invoke the blessings of this Silence in the privacy and intimacy of your inner Home.
