Silence is something that comes from your heart, not from outside. Silence doesn’t mean not talking and not doing things; it means that you are not disturbed inside. If you’re truly silent, then no matter what situation you find yourself in you can enjoy the silence. There are moments when you think you’re silent and all around is silent, but talking is going on all the time inside your head. That’s not silence. The practice is how to find silence in all the activities you do.
--Thich Nhat Hanh
I took these pictures on Sunday and I can't help but notice how they don't feel the slightest bit like now anymore, but when I look at them, I can feel the now that was then and I am impressed again with a superb silence and a simple wish to carry it.
Thanks Rob.
