Work, cellphones, conversation, entertainment, news, distraction, and preoccupations of every kind tend to fill up every waking minute. While we need silence for depth, we need interaction with others for grounding and sanity. Preoccupation with work or a healthy distraction can sometimes be just the friend you need when your heart is fighting asphyxiation. There’s a huge silence inside each of us that beckons us into itself and can help us learn the language of heaven. Silence is a language that’s deeper, more far-reaching, more understanding, more compassionate, and more eternal than any other language.
