I walk in a cloud of angels

I walk in a cloud of angels
I move encircled by light and glowing faces...
stricken by music too sublime to bear.

Newsletter Subscription

There is no cost to have the Friends of Silence monthly letter sent to you each month.

For the past 35 years, a small band of dedicated friends have poured their hearts and love into Friends of Silence.

Each month we send out the newsletter in print and email to a growing community of over 10,000 people.

The monthly newsletter of contemplative quotes remains free and is made possible by your generosity and support.

If our work brings you any hope and a sense of belonging, then please consider supporting our labor of love with a donation.

And if you’ve already given, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can hear all my cries and
laughter at once,
 so I see that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can wake up
 and the door of my heart
 can be left open,
the door of compassion.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh
