"Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood is ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence ... What are the fruits of silence? They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity and reverence. Silence is the cornerstone of character."

~Ohiyesa, Santee Sioux~

So much happens in silence.  We learn and grow when we listen.  We remain in balance when we stand still in silence.  The milkweed lets her seeds fly in silence.
