When I was little, I learned two proverbs: „Speech is silver, silence is golden.” And „Two eyes, two ears and one mouth does not have a pair, that it is wiser to see and hear than to speak.” For me, the silence was to be careful not to speak or tell you something. Now I understand better how far the meaning of this silence, not referring simply to not utter words, but has a deeper meaning.
Silence is the ability to discern the self, to listen and weigh. If you embrace the silence, you will find a gold mine. Stop bit and listening to soft music, relax and enter the realm of silence. Understanding silence means to penetrate the heartstrings and meet God, and with his help you discover yourself, to find your roots. It’s great!
Yes, as we take time each day to gather our forces and to charge the batteries, equally important is to find the time to restore our inner energy. In silence we are strong and we will find the true path to self-fulfillment in the family, the human community.
