“A woman once described a friend of hers as being such a keen listener that even the trees leaned toward her, as if they were speaking their innermost secrets into her listening ears. Over the years I’ve envisioned that woman’s silence, a hearing full and open enough that the world told her its stories. The green leaves turned toward her, whispering tales of soft breezes and the murmurs of leaf against leaf.” IfsWorldYearsEnoughStoriesSecretSilenceTreeListeningEarsGreenHearingTalesListenersLeafsBreezeWhisperingGreen LeavesListening Ear Book:Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World Source: Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World
“There is a still place, a gap between the worlds, spoken by the tribal knowings of thousands of years. In it are silent flyings that stand aside from human struggles and the designs of our own makings. At times, when we are silent enough, still enough, we take a step into such mystery, the place of spirit, and mystery, we must remember, by its very nature does not wish to be known.” WorldYearsHumansDoeStillsEnoughRememberSpiritWishKnownStepsStruggleKnowingMysteryDesignSilentFlyingGaps Book:Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World Source: Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World
