Silence
Silence is the attitude we adopt when we are listening. And in a world of incessant speaking, listening has become rare. Yet listening is a skill practised by all the great masters – great leaders listen to their followers, great artists listen to their muses, great mystics listen to their spirit guides. Even the truly great speakers are students of silence, acutely aware of the power of the pause. Master orators know that silence speaks volumes. All silence is pregnant, for out of silence all creation is born. Silence is the fertile bed in which seeds of inspiration germinate, the dark humus which feeds new life. Silence is always full, never empty.
— Wayne Visser
