Every night, the old man would sit on the hill outside his city and watch the stars. People would come to talk to him from time to time but he would just sit and stare off into space, never giving a reply. One day a child went over and sat beside him and stared up just the same, never saying a word. The child continued to come out.
Two years passed of this silent relationship and on an exceptionally bright night, the man, still looking up, "Isn't it beautiful?.....The majesty, the stillness, the anthem of silence... child, you can learn much from what is above but you have spoken more to me in one sitting than all my nights under these stars" to which the child replied, "Thank you for teaching me to be still, because, in the stillness I have learned to listen." ======remember, it is the silent company, that some desire, more than words....the greatest words that we will ever speak are formed in the presence of silence. Love you guys ?- Jacob Heynen
