We must be the change we wish to see in the world.

Sound of Silence...

"Remember always - not with my speech, not with my eyes, not even with my mind will that Self be reached. It will declare itself to me only in my stillness." ~KATHA UPANISHAD (800-400BCE), INDIA

 A friend & I have been conversing today about 'Silence'.   This topic surprised me so much, in our own silence today the both of us were thinking of the same thing!  When the word 'silence' is spoken I cannot help but start to hum the tune "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel in my mind.  

For some reason silence scares me, it always has, and I'm afraid that I have lived in fear for a long time.  Much longer than I have ever realized.  A question has been lingering, one I haven't been able to answer because I have not even known what the question is, but now I get it.  LOVE or FEAR? Do we choose LOVE or do we choose FEAR?  Easier said than done eh.
