“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything.”

– acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton –

 

We need silence, the space between thoughts, between steps, between notes, between words, between day and night. If you have time, click on the link to Gordon Hempton and listen to his recordings of the sounds of silence.

Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.

Like Steps of Passing Ghosts

“Listen . . .

With faint dry sound,

Like steps of passing ghosts,

The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees

And fall.”

– Adelaide Crapsey –

 

Nourish peace, cultivate loving kindness, and carry the calm.
