“When you arise in the morning, think of what a special privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” - Marcus Aurelius
"So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak." ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Silence leads to stillness, and stillness leads to wisdom. A Zen master, who when asked how to achieve enlightenment, gazed at the student with lips firmly sealed. When Buddha got enlightened, he kept silent. Words end where truth begins. The more we know, the quieter we become, and the quieter we become, the more we hear. “Silence is the root of everything,” said Rumi. “If you spiral into its void, a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear.”
