Sing to me in the silence of your heart and I will rise up to hear your triumphant song.
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
In the silence of LOVE you will find the Spark of LIFE.
There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens; with wandering talk it closes.
Let silence take you to the core of life.
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
I want that love that moved the mountains. I want that love that split the ocean. I want that love that made the winds tremble. I want that love that roared like thunder. I want that love that will raise the dead. I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. I want that love that is the silence of eternity.
There is a place where words are born of silence.
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Silence gives answers.
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Let Silence speak to you about the secrets of the universe.
