Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit....

                                                       (Glacier, Montana - 2010)

...The man who preserves his selfhood is ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence ... What are the fruits of silence? They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity and reverence. Silence is the cornerstone of character.
