Sometimes the best gifts we receive and give come in silence.
GIFTS RECEIVED
"I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerent, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange I am ungrateful to those teachers."
---Kahlil Gibran, painter and poet
GIFTS WE GIVE
"There is a silence that matches our best possibilities when we have learned to listen to others. We can master the art of being quiet in order to be able to hear clearly what others are saying...We need to cut off the garbled static of our own preoccupations to give to people who want our quiet attention."
---Eugene Kennedy, philosopher
What will you give and receive in the silence today? One gift is that we have connected in this silence across time and distance. Hello. Namaste.
