The solitary globe of night
pours out its calm and clear light
in the midst of the silence and
contemplation of nature.
~ by Camille Flammarion
We do not need to be experts or geniuses to remember that all of existence is precious. We do not need cathedrals to remind ourselves to experience the sacred. We need only to be deeply respectful of what is fundamentally true; and that is what we rediscover when we center ourselves in silence.
