In a world of noise, confusion and conflict it is necessary that there be places of silence, inner discipline and peace. In such places love can blossom.
This love, like a flower, is not the silence — it is the perfume of the silence, unfolding, blossoming, out into the world.
It touches the soul of self and other — until, realising that there is no self and other, it heals, and it blesses.
Just another reason we are called to silence.
