The Power of Quiet

Written by Malidoma Patrice Some

“The power of quiet is great. It generates the same feelings in everything one encounters. It vibrates with the cosmic rhythm of oneness. 

It is everywhere, available to anyone at any time. It is us, the force within that makes us stable, trusting, and loving. It is contemplation contemplating. 


Peace is letting go – returning to the silence that cannot enter the realm of words because it is too pure to be contained in words.


This is why the tree, the stone, the river, and the mountain are quiet.” 

~ Malidoma Patrice Some


“The Voice for God is always quiet, because It speaks of peace. Peace is stronger than war because it heals. War is division, not increase. No one gains from strife. What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? If you listen to the wrong voice you have lost sight of your soul. You cannot lose it, but you can not know it. It is therefore ‘lost’ to you until you choose right.” A Course in Miracles T-5.II.7:7-14


“In order to pray aright, we must enter into the closet and shut the door. We must close the lips and silence the material senses. In the quiet sanctuary of earnest longings, we must deny sin and plead God’s allness.” Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 15:14-18
