these words from the Great Tree Zen Temple
Silence:
Silence is an opportunity to communicate with our whole being, our body language, our unspoken thoughts, and a creative expression which speaks more clearly than words. It is authentic and all inclusive – in Silence we are able to hear, express, and engage from the core of our Being.
At Great Tree Zen Temple, ‘Silent Retreat’ means to enter into every activity with mindfulness and a desire to honor the quiet within, being present in the moment without the distraction of unnecessary words or discussion. Amidst our busy lives it is often difficult to imagine communicating without words. A silent retreat offers an opportunity to explore and honor the gifts and insights which arise from SILENCE.
These friends speak my mind. It is my prayer to facilitate the being of Still Waters Refuge to support and nurture the space for Friends to retreat in silent refuge, under the care of Friends.
Keep praying

Hello, you were wondering why no comments... Even having your name it's difficult to find this blog in the first place. (I'd seen you in a list of members at Quakerquaker, read that you wanted comments, and thought "Comments? This sounds like a job for...The Mad Commenter... hmmm The Contentious (and sometimes Feisty) Commenter? AH: Silence Breaker to the rescue!
How about dropping a comment or two over at kwakerskripturestudy.blogspot.com ?
