The Power of Silence: A Tale of Listening in a Noisy World

Noble Silence – Inner Peace – Peace on Earth

Thousands of years ago, when the shadows danced and whispers echoed, and gods and demons roamed the earth, I was a mere mortal who dared to cross a line that no one had ever dared to before.

When they were moving heaven and earth to set things in perpetual motion, I found myself caught up in the sweep of their grand and mysterious designs.

That was a time when the line between reality and myth was blurred, and the fate of the world hung in balance.

Observing my infatuation with all that glitters, they blessed me with the wondrous gift of a golden tongue.

My voice got sought after by all the birds and animals in the forest for my ability to weave stories and songs that would touch the heart and soul. I flew from tree to tree, sharing my wisdom and experiences, and the forest came alive with the sound of my voice.

But nowadays, I spend a lot of time perched atop the ancient oak tree. Lost in thought. Lost in a distant dream.

There are times when the world’s asleep. As the lights fade, the stars begin to gather.

That’s when I think about the questions that run so deep. And I search my mind for answers.

Suddenly from the depth of the dense forest, a voice begins to echo, gentle and melodious. Its soothing tone weaves a haunting melody that seems to come from the very heart of the woodland.

A silhouetted figure lit by moonlight is sitting cross-legged on a mossy rock. With a flowing white beard and eyes that sparkle with the light of the universe. He is speaking softly, his words a song of peace and wisdom.

I land on a nearby branch and listen intently, charmed by his chants. Mystic chants on the power of silence, and how it can bring peace and clarity to the mind. Of finding meaning in the silence that surrounds us.

As I listen, I feel a sense of peace wash over me. Even though I am a creature of magic, with a voice that could move mountains, I know that there is something to be said for the power of silence. In my many years of life, I have seen the way that words can cause pain and hurt, and I have learned that sometimes it is better to simply be still and listen.

The chants and intonations resonate within me, and I find myself nodding in blissful agreement.

For in this moment, I know that I am not alone. I am a part of the world, and the world is a part of me. And even in the silence that surrounds us, there is a beauty that can only be expressed in silence.
