Silence is something from which we wish to turn away; an intimation of the end, and the graveyard of fixed identities. Real silence... leads us beyond the well known and accepted reality and confronts us with the unknown and previously unacceptable conversation about to break in upon our lives.[This is] the sheer incarnational presence of the world, a presence that seems to demand a moving internal symmetry in the one breathing and listening equal to its own breathing listening. -David Whyte, Excerpted from ‘SILENCE’ From the upcoming book of essays CONSOLATIONS: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words.
