Silence

"I think 99 times and find nothing.  I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me." Einstein

If one of the greatest minds known to humans found more truth in silence than in his own thinking, what does that tell us?  There is a truth beyond our thoughts with which we can get in touch - through silence.  Meditation, walks in nature, silence with the intention of reaching beyond our own thoughts -- these practices have many, many benefits.
