SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS -- 66

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF SILENCE
+ Where we have stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experience the loss of soul. Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves.
-- Gabrielle Roth

I welcome what I like to call the Joyful Noise movement which has been sweeping through religious communities and society as a whole. Communities of faith are in great need of renewal and celebration.  Making a Joyful Noise can be very healing and inspiring. 

But just as important is what I like to call the Joyful Silence movement.  Let’s dance.  Let’s sing.  Let’s tell stories. And let’s create in our lives many periods of silenceWisdom teachers have been telling us for millennia how important it is for us to establish silent spaces in our lives.
