Silent humans sit on their cushions as a reassuringly still and silent Bald Mountain sits outside Barnestown window. Saskia sails from Camden harbor several times a week giving people the chance learn the skill or to feel the gift of sailing. These summer days are hot. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other.
Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech .
Our hearts and minds hold each and all gratefully in our learning to speak with silence, and learning to be alone with others. 50 Bayview St.
