Our hearts may seem noisy and tumultuous so much of the time that we do not even associate them with silence. It takes a sensitive ear to tune in to the silence of the heart, but it is there in each one of us, so close and so large that we do not even notice it. We can begin to become aware of it in the same way we become aware of the negative space in a still life, the background of a photograph, or the open sky that contains the sun, clouds, moon, and stars. We are accustomed to tuning in to objects and sounds that are one-pointed, solid, and three-dimensional. Seeing and hearing the apparently empty space that contains these sounds and objects takes a little practice. Hopefully, you will enjoy the silence and take pride in the fact that within each of us is the ability to just be, not wonder aimlessly throughout our lives hearing only the brash and abrasive world which can so often leave you full of tension and without peace. shhh.....can you hear that?
