I would love to live
like a river flows,
carried by the surprise
of its own unfolding.
~ John O'Donahue from "Fluent" in CONAMARA BLUES
The path of silence ... is the path of meditation or contemplation which leads us to the center of our being. We plant the seed of silence within ourselves by quieting the mind. We allow our minds to empty of thought so we can enter our own resounding silence, a state from which we gain deep refreshment... Experiencing the silence within is like opening a hidden door to the soul.
