TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself."

     ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross


How can we better access the strength, the beauty, the wisdom - all our inner gifts - if we don't get in touch with the silence within us?

How often do you experience silence? How comfortable are you with silence?

"See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence," said Mother Teresa. "We need silence to be able to touch souls."

Sometimes silence is so powerful ​​that it has a sound, or seems to. I heard such a sound once while I was 
on a hike deep into Boyton's Canyon in Sedona, Arizona. The silence in the canyon that day felt vast and full. It seemed to echo the silence of deep water, of an ancient ocean that had once filled the canyon and covered the land.

Silence stirs our imagination too.

Let's make room for it today and be ready to touch souls - our own and others. 

With beauty,
Charlene
