Silence

I'm big on silence... it's a restful and happy state, depending ....
Silence is not just keeping one's mouth shut..And I read today that
it's more than just the absence of thoughts (passive) according to a Hindu
teacher... it's more of having beautiful thoughts in one's mind(active). Reminds me of the Philippians verse on keeping one's mind on whatever things that are lovely,noble, of good report.

May I add that silence is also important even when one is in a conversation
or in a discussion .... where silence would mean giving one's full attention and regard to the person talking and to what's being said .... Silence is listening.

Silence also means silence of the emotions, of feelings ...that is keeping ones emotions and feelings balanced and happy,keeping control of one's emotions and
feelings ....Silence is managing one's emotions and feelings ....

Nice thought, nice realization ... Thank You Lord Father God !
