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 silence. Wisdom
teachers have been telling us for millennia how important it is for us to
establish silent spaces in our lives.
