On Silence

Silence is our constant friend and companion. It gives us rest when we are tired. It listens when we need to talk. It receives us when we are anxious or confused. It humbly steps out of the way when we think we have something better to do. But it never leaves us. It is here before we are born. It is here while we live. It is here after we pass away. If you do one thing in this life, become acquainted with silence. 19 min.
