Silence represents many concepts, both positive and negative.

On a positive note, it means calm and balm.

A good start to the day, it stills the heart, shapes the mind and is difficult to come by.

Do make some during the day to be still and quiet. Enjoy this acrostic.

Stillness of the heart and soul

Inner being, mind, it moulds

Lull is suitable for faint heart

Elixir for the soul, day’s start

Nothingness of sound soul lifts

Calm a rare, precious gift

Eden.
