Sierra Art Trails 2015 Catalog #65
There is so much constant chatter in our world, verbal and non-verbal, and we spend so much time responding to this chatter, that we have come to equate silence with loneliness, emptiness.
But it is only in silence that we learn to hear ourselves, each other, and the earth we live on.
John Muir said, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.”
Alone in a silent house, one may feel loneliness, but in nature one is never alone, and nature is never truly silent; we just need to stop chattering long enough to listen.
