We allow words to gather
slowly to our silence -

Filling ourselves to the holiness
of their presence.

We trace the words as they fall
across the lips of the other.

And read each one with a kiss.

Until we find ourselves
once more in the silence
of this love.

(smiles) Oh Eric, this is lovely, sweet friend, silence can usually be deafening but as long as you share it with someone with a smile silence can feel so soft and velveteen as all the embers glow around you! (big hugggsssssss) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

These words evoke beautiful emotions... the sweetness in the silence of love so profound that there is nothing to say... love is all and it speaks its own language.

And sometimes in its own silence, its message is brought forth with an amazing clarity that words would only obscure.

Be still. Breathe... and listen to the silence of love.

Thank you...
Love,
Moca

Oh so magical! When this kind of silence is filled with KNOWING, it sparkles through the eyes and is interpreted instantly without a sound ....except maybe with a sigh ...
Love, Margherita
