I feel like these words are among the most beautiful things ever said. So simple, yet so profound. If asked, I wouldn't be able to explain what I think the author means by silence - but I can totally feel it.
For me, silence is the backdrop for everything that happens, everything thatis. It can be understood both in a cosmic sense and as an essence of one's mind. Some would even say that the universe and consciousness are the same thing, and silence (or emptiness) permeatesthem.
Personally, I find that silence can be accessed through mindfulness. The moment I am aware of being is the moment silence "sees" through me. Does that make sense?
I feel like there is a lot to process in this passage. I'm so glad I came across this website earlier today and I cannot wait to read more of it. I'm simply grateful.

Also, I love the illustration to the text.
