"most people are perfectly afraid of silence"
American Poet/Artist
1894 - 1962

e. e. cummings 1933 |
Writers and artists require silence to focus on their work and, yet, many people are afraid of silence. Silence helps us find our way through the maze of life. Silence opens like a flower in the morning. Take time to enjoy the silences of your life. The hardest silence to find is the silence of the mind. We are constantly talking to ourselves even when we have silenced the voices around us. Learn to slow your mind down and quiet the voices talking inside your head. Rid yourself of your mother's voice. Your father's voice. The voice of the critic. The voice of the editor. Learn to love silence.
