say, for they fumble, stammer, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;and break the best porcelain. The best one can hope for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;is to find along the way someone to share the path, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;content to walk in silence, for the heart communes best &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;when it does not try to speak.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;More often we expect from the ones who matter to us a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;lot, to say it in Words what they mean to say just &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;because we want to "hear" them for we believe that these &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;words transform to feelings but in reality it is the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;profound enigmatic Silence in the company of true love &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;and concern that evokes in us the feelings we so much &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;yearn for. Only after one has used words as a medium and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;experienced it's limited power is one truly ready to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;experience and appreciate the unlimited power of silence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;It takes a lot of maturity and understanding to realize &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;how intimate a connection we share with Silence deep down &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;in the pure layers of our inner consciousness. It keeps &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;unveiling to us in so many mysterious ways depending upon &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;the circumstances. It is amazing how expressive Silence &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;could be..!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;In our day to day lives, we continuously let heaps of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;words, seep into us through our five senses and pile up &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;on our brain thereby cluttering it. Some off these we &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;evaluate and react to; others we just eschew. We are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;designed as such that words touch most of us only &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;superficially and hence the collosal damage in the form &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;of misinterpretaion and misunderstandings which have a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;cascading effect on our lives. It takes only the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;intellectual DNA's to interpret words for their true &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;meaning and essence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;Au contraire to popular definitions, Silence is not &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;absence of noise it has a realm of it own with a light &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;that can only been seen with the inner eyes. It is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;present in everyone - its just that most never bother &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;look within. Once connected with this, it helps us handle &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;the most difficult decisions of our lives with a clarity &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;of circumstances and pros n' cons like never before. If &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;you have a gift of the gab, learn to speak only when &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;you've to else adopt silence. Pause when necessary and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;when you have nothing to say at all, SAY NOTHING. Such &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;approaches will have oulasting impact. &lt;b&gt;Learn to use S&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;ilence&lt;/b&gt; - It is a powerful tool in many contexts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Silence is not a sign of weakness or loneliness&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;it's a powerful weapon of souls with fortitude&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;it has its own energy,

within,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;where I fight for sustenance amongst the seas of people,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;to earn my daily bread for my family n' seek a living;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;I take the vagabond escape route to being amidst Nature...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;to lose myself in its scenic beauty n' FREE the real ME, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;even, if it is momentary, to touch, feel, live n' sensitize,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;to infuse within me all that Nature has to offer from its womb;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;be it the meadows that paint the vibrant colors from its canvas,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;in my otherwise stark life colored only in black n' white;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;or the wilderness that sing songs in rhythms of their own,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;a melody, so pleasing that sets you grooving to its every beat;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;the sunrise that breaks away from twilight to give me hope,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;when I feel lost as I surmise the conflicts I face in my life;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;the landscapes, seascapes n' mountainous intricate

splendours;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;the rivers that flow endlessly remaining new all the while,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;teaching me to remain unaffected by the disruptions in life;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;the solace in the secluded spot over a rock with subtle winds,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;that drives away all my agitation n' plunges me in reverie; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;the sunset by the sea that usher-in respite, calming me down,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;healing me from within n' resurging me with strength n' wisdom;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;to collect myself n' my thoughts to get back the handle of my

back&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;to the man-made soulless surreal world that bewilders me each time &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;with the the circle of being enthralled in the charisma of Nature &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;coming to an undesirable end with the end of the brief sojourn&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;that brings me a step closer to Nature each time, I seek solace &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;in its resplendent world emblazoned with inexplicable bliss n' peace&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;a sacred communion with the eternal power that cannot be expressed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;but only be felt from deep within the soul as Nature's powerful mysticism&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;i&gt;creating firmly a sense of oneness between ME n' Mother Nature
