I was going to pick a favorite and can't, they are all perfect and all go together. What a great start of the day - and on a full moon, yet!

Good stuff. Steve in Baltimore County.

Very good quotes. They make me happy. :)

True silence, could come to the ear while standing in snow covered woods. I've experienced that in the Norwegian woods. But, little , by little, the woods come alive with sounds of the woods, and it is welcome.
True silence could also come from an inner silence, but little, by little the sounds of life starts emerging.

Love all of them. For me it is the inner silence, just like Merton's inner fasting.
