"A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."

James's comment: A great reminder that silence often speaks more wisdom then the most eloquent of words and in-depth philosophizing.

I agree that in this noisy world, great wisdom comes from silence.
Silence is not only golden, but peaceful.

I have been working on trying to find the silence in the noise lately as well. I think that since everything is interdependant that there is some silence in noise. A type of harmony that exists if we can learn to open up to it. It's been hard for me as I find a lot of noise to be so jaring but I am starting with music and birds chirping and trying to work out from there. I don't know if any of this makes sense but these kind of things are always hard to describe in words.
So basically, I want to get to the point of being at peace and in balance in the middle of chaos as I can in silence.
amen.
Great painting - great post!
I've heard it said in many sacred traditions that silence is the secret language of the Divine. :o)

Indeed.
What is the use of words in the Enlightened state?
