Silence is an art
It is a skill worth learning.
It is a journey in observation,
The examination of thought, and action,
That eventually brings wisdom, & the eloquence of knowing
When to speak,
What to speak,
Where to speak,
How to speak
In the appropriate way,
At the precise time
With just the right execution
Learning the art of silence brings with it the knowledge and understanding that sometimes not everything needs to be said.

It has its merits
DeleteYep, as the saying goes, "silence is golden".
ReplyDeleteIt certainly can be.
DeleteWell said. I like this particular post as it reminds me of raising Jordyn. Many times I had to tell her that everything that came to her mind did not have to come out of her mouth.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm, I remember those scoldings from my grandmother as well. Only she said, "not everything you chew you have to swallow."
DeleteSilence is perfect right! Have a nice weekend,Michiko
ReplyDeleteIt has its value and place.
DeleteI am learning that later in life than I would like to think. But, I am learning.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never. Learning is one of life's major lessons.
DeleteSilence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.
ReplyDeleteVery true
DeleteFab! You’ve got that soooooo right!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the trick is learning and sustaing that knowledge.
DeleteExcellent advice! Now if only I would follow it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTherein lies the challenge.
DeleteExcellent.It is not necessary to speak always and pronounce an opinion on any and everything.Most of what we have had spoken would not have made any difference if not uttered at all.Speak if one must but with brevity.Silence adds to powers of observation and mental strength.It is tough initially but silence comes by practice.
ReplyDeletethis is so true and one of the most challenging lessons to learn in life.
DeleteHmn, I should always remember this
ReplyDeleteI too try to always remember. I give myself daily remimders especially when I am in commumication with others (which is daily as its part of my job).
DeleteGreat words of wisdom. Now to use them . Thanks so much .
ReplyDeleteEaster Blessings to you and your family
Thanks, using them ah, it certainly makes life interesting.
DeleteAbsolutely right. Remaining silent is an art which very few people have mastered ! When you are silent you can concentrate on what you see ,listen, smell,touch,think & dream and thereby gain an ocean of experience leading to greater wisdom !
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Exactly, you got that so right. Now to put it into practice......wooo..
