"When someone is going though a storm, your silent presence is more powerful than a million empty words".

~ Thema Davis  ~

This is a hard one for a person like myself who talks incessantly at times.  Silence can be a terrifying thing because it is symbolic of so much for me.  I see the world in symbolism.  There is a part of me where silence is symbolic of shame, this can be confusing.  

"Be quiet and say nothing because you were been bad so you don't deserve to have opinions'.
"You are an orphan so your opinions do not matter"
"Children should be seen and not heard"

Silence and your presence is all that is required when someone you love is facing insurmountable  pain in their lives.  Answers are unseen at this point and the hand of love is all that is needed while a person finds their way through their pain.  Silence is powerful when used in conjunction with spirit, the God consciousness in us all responds to this without a prompt.
