You don't always have to have something to say.

-Sammy David, Jr.

Every time we open our mouths we release a powerful energy.  If we could learn to hold on to that energy, it could be used to nurture our dreams, heal our bodies and fuel our minds.  But we always have so much to say.  Talking can take us off the track, knock us off our center and kill off our dreams when we speak mindlessly.  Talking is something we must always do.  There is a power in silence that energizes the mind, body and soul.  Think of the sun, moon and stars.  They all appear silent and never fail at their job.  There is wisdom in silence.  Think of the mountains and trees.  They never have anything to say, yet it takes great effort to bring them down.  There is love in silence.  Think of the womb.  Perfect timing, order and completion accomplished in total silence.  Silence is an art, a tool of the wise.  When we perfect the art of silence, chances are we will get a lot more done.

Today I will practice the art of silence.
