Come to the Quiet

Have been reflecting on my need for quiet space and happened upon a book, "One Square Inch of Silence." Written by an acoustic ecologist (did not know of such a thing), one of the more attention-getting quotes I read: "And what is there to life if a man cannot hear the lovely cry of the whipoorwill or the arguments of the frogs around a pond at night." I love the imagery and can easily imagine the vociferous croaks of a passionate debate.

I think it is in the silence that God's creation sings some of the most the most beautiful melodies.
