Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay
attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration,
knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core
of inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, "Only let the
moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the
surface of your being.".
