The Power of Silence
“Leave thinking to the One who gave intelligence. In Silence, there is eloquence. Stop weaving, and watch how the pattern improves.”
In modern parlance, Rumi’s words translate to, “Settle down.” When we settle our mind, we stop the torrent of distractive thinking and worry, our heart rate slows, and we become present. After all, what good does it do to worry, does it have the power to change the future, or is it just harmful to our health and wellbeing? Learn to create moments of silence, however brief, whenever you are in the presence of beauty and stillness. Notice how it quiets your mind to simply be -- without thought or intention
-- just BE.
