More about the Silence

When you are able to find the silence, that quiet place in you that is also all outside you, carry it with you wherever you go. It's everywhere and when you discover this, you will realise that you are part of the silence. Focus on your breathing, be aware of your surroundings, what you feel, what you hear, what you see. Recognise your heart is beating in time with the universe. Moreover, your heartbeat is only one of the many drums beating to the rhythm of the universe. You are matching your heartbeat to the universal rhythm. Feel it pulsing through you, with you. That same rhythm is in everything and everyone, but some have not heard it yet. So bring the silence to all things, all beings. And when you find another whose rhythm matches yours and the universe, you have found a likeminded soul. You will be able to be silent together and this silence will speak louder than words, any sound, any noise. The silence is comfortable and needs no words. It is the immutable bond.
The silence of trees, grass, flowers, birds lifting in the sky, ants crawling along the way, the trickling of water in a stream, all whisper the same, gentle message, that your heart speaks. In the silence, you can hear it clearly. The rhythm of the universe, its heartbeat, moves everything; day and night, the seasons, the patterns in the night sky, the planets in their dance around the sun. It never skips a beat. It keeps going.
Like a wave on the ocean, that ripples across the water, so the eternal rhythm continues. Our own heartbeats are like drops of water in the ocean of the universe: collectively we are the universe. Hear the water trickle and wash against the shore of your soul. Listen to this and you are hearing the silence. It is in you and around you, it is everywhere.
