The solitary globe of night
pours out its calm and clear light
in the midst of the silence and
contemplation of nature.
~ by Camille Flammarion
Spend time in solitude and silence. Solitude permits us to retreat from the press and struggle in order to let our fragmented and dispersed selves to become collected again. Silence goes hand in hand with solitude. Silence sensitizes, just as noise desensitizes.
