ALL IS KNOWN IN THE SACREDNESS OF SILENCE

Once, there lived an old man who discovered a profound truth: words often diluted the essence of true communication, hindering genuine heart-to-heart connection. With this insight, he chose silence as his mode of expression. Instead of talking, he conveyed his feelings through silent gestures—baking apple pies for his neighbors and gifting flowers from his garden, allowing his heart and the love within it to speak volumes without uttering a single word.How then will you share your hearts truth?“It is in the silence within, meeting the silence without, in that space out of time, that all truth is found beyond even a whisper”.—Nigel Lott Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

A CONTEMPLATION ON LOVE - The Eternal Energy

In the vast expanse of existence, there exists a force so profound, so pervasive, that it binds the fabric of reality together. It is the very essence that breathes life into the universe, transcending boundaries and manifesting in myriad forms. This force, often elusive yet omnipresent, is none other than love.From the cosmic dance of galaxies to the delicate embrace of a blooming flower, love courses through every aspect of creation. It is the invisible thread that connects all beings, uniting them in a symphony of existence. While science seeks to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos through equations and theories, it is the essence of love that truly animates the universe.At its core, love is more than just an emotion; it is an energy—a primordial force that fuels the very act of creation itself. Just as the sun radiates warmth and light, love emanates from the depths of the cosmos, infusing every atom with its divine essence. It is the catalyst for growth, the source of inspiration, and the foundation upon which life flourishes.In the realm of human experience, love takes on countless forms—be it the bond between parent and child, the affection shared between friends, or the passion that ignites romantic relationships. Yet, beyond these earthly expressions, love transcends the limitations of language and perception, reaching beyond the confines of time and space.Throughout history, poets, philosophers, and sages alike have sought to capture the essence of love in words. From the ancient teachings of mystics to the timeless verses of poets, the concept of love has been woven into the very tapestry of human culture. And while interpretations may vary, the underlying truth remains unchanged: love is the ultimate force of creation.In a world often marred by division and strife, the importance of love cannot be overstated. It is through love that we find meaning in our lives, forging connections that bridge the perceived divides between us. When we embrace love in its purest form—unconditional and boundless—we tap into the infinite reservoir of energy that underpins all existence.Moreover, the transformative power of love knows no bounds. It has the ability to heal wounds, mend broken hearts, and inspire acts of kindness and compassion. In a universe governed by entropy and chaos, love serves as a guiding light—a beacon of hope that illuminates even the darkest of nights.As we navigate the complexities of existence, let us remember that love is not merely a fleeting emotion, but the very essence of our being. It is the thread that binds us to one another and to the cosmos at large. And in realizing the profound truth that love is the energy that underpins all creation, we unlock the keys to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe in which we dwell.
