A Day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.

A Day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
Its marvelous lute and drum. 

Is not most talking A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?\

I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,

To yield to Light and Happiness,
To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!
