silence

Pearl-shell, what gives you your precious contents? Silence; for years my lips were closed.

Silence is the shield of the ignorant and the protection of the wise.

khatm - a poem

O Thou, Who art the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty, The Lord of heaven and earth,
Open our hearts, that we may hear Thy Voice, which constantly cometh from within.
Disclose to us Thy Divine Light which is hidden in our souls,
That we may know and understand life better.
Most Merciful and Compassionate God, Give us Thy great Goodness;
Teach us Thy loving Forgiveness;
Raise us above the distinctions and differences which divide mankind:
Send us the Peace of Thy divine Spirit, And unite us all in Thy Perfect Being.

Amen

-- Hazrat Inayat Khan

small things

... see if you can notice the small things. The small things include the sound of the wind in the trees, birds chirping, the warmth of the sun on your face, well, you get the picture. Often small things, like, being cut off on the highway are blown into something big. If you are able to look at being cut off, as something small, then listening to the birds will turn into something big in your heart(being). Noticing the small things will get us closer to presence.
