Silence isn't just the absence of noise. It's a presence that brings us energy, clarity, and deeper connection.
~ Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz in GOLDEN: THE POWER OF SILENCE IN A WORLD OF NOISE
All final spiritual reference is to be the silence beyond sound. The word made flesh is the first sound. Beyond that sound is the transcendent unknown, the unknowable. It can be spoken of as the great silence, or as the void, or as the transcendent absolute.
