Unceasing Eloquence

Today I am grateful for the smell of fresh, chilly fall air. I am also grateful for peanut butter.

As I considered this brief quote:

"Silence is unceasing eloquence." 

Ramana Maharshi

I got these random thoughts:

*A friend and I were recently talking about the challenges of marriage and how if 

we could just learn to keep our mouths shut more often it would be helpful. 

*I am guessing both of our husbands would agree.

*The silence of nature speaks for itself. 

*Some things are definitely better left unsaid.

*We will tend to learn more from our own silence than our own speaking.

*That is especially true if we are really listening to others or to the silence.

*Typically, apologies aren't needed for something I didn't say.

*Seeking silence in my own mind is crucial for me. The "peddling b.s." 

I wrote about yesterday is more ugly than eloquent.

*Writing can be silent but still say a ton.

And then my random thoughts ran out and I headed into my day. Have a good one!
