See how nature—trees, flowers, grass—grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun—how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.

~ Mother Teresa (1910-1997)



Breaking the Silence

Cool morning breezes cleanse the dawn with scents of bluegrass, dew, and new mown alfalfa. The blazing red horizon is like a symphony without sound. Yet, a new sun emerges slowly, softly, gently, allowing our eyes to absorb its majesty, inviting our spirits to listen and dance in gratitude and celebration.

The aching beauty of a brilliant red backdrop with the soft sun wrapped in white cloud ribbons brings closure to the past and renewal to the present—a spiritual gift for meditation.

Soon, the first bird will call out, breaking the silence, announcing the new day. "Get on with it! Your turn to sing, fly, acknowledge your role in this day, move out, and create something wonderful!"

With each new day, each moment, we leave the past, enriched by its gifts of love for the soul. A moment of peaceful silence bridges yesterday's victories and today's creative adventures. At the end of that bridge, we must break the silence, open the next door, and walk into new landscapes of possibility and creativity.

Mid-morning sunlight reveals the unusual in the usual, the unobvious in the obvious. When we move forward with an open mind, we find new ways around old roadblocks. We see new possibilities amid old problems. We discard baggage that has become a burden. Stumbling blocks start to form stairways to our most cherished dreams, and we climb unencumbered.

Allow yourself a moment of silence. Go to a peaceful place that inspires renewal and relaxation. Then break the silence and move passionately into this day. Look at your realities in a new light. Do something you have neglected or embark on a journey toward a desired dream. You will see with clearer vision and discover a treasure of creative possibilities.
