Listen and Silent

The same letters are in the words listen and silent.  It is a strange coincidence that two different words guide each other to a deeper meaning. If I really want to listen to you, understand you, and follow you, it must be quiet. When you listen to that softness of silence, you enter another dimension of beauty.

"Hear my words that I might teach you. Feel my words that I might reach you." ~Paul Simon

The writer Aldous Huxley said, "After silence, that which comes
 nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."

I close my eyes  when I listen to Simon & Garfunkel, so I can feel the silent strength within me.  
When you act from a resilient, silent love, this force is bigger than any other human power. Silence is not an option where there is this kind of love, either you must speak out or sing out.
