Silence is noisy until we become accustomed to it. In silence we can hear the sound of our own pulse and heartbeat, the flowing rhythms of our own blood in our veins, – and the rhythm of the Universe – in the inner ear.

Thirty spokes join the wheel nave
And make of void and form a pair,
And a wagon’s put to use.
Clay is thrown to shape a pot
And make of void and form a pair,

And make of void and form a pair,
And a home is put to use.
Thus the value of what is
Depends for use on what is not…
~ Lao Tzu

Thank you blessed mother earth for always providing for us what we need. You nourish, ground, protect, heal, and nurture all your earth children and we are forever humbled to be your kids… 🙂
You will see in the world what you carry in your heart…
