Quote of the Day

Please call me by my true names,
so I can hear all my cries and
laughter at once,
 so I see that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can wake up
 and the door of my heart
 can be left open,
the door of compassion.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

I said to my soul, be still, and wait... In the darkness shall be the light And the stillness the dancing.

~ T. S. Eliot

There is no cost to have the Friends of Silence monthly letter sent to you each month.

For the past 32 years, a small band of dedicated friends have poured their hearts and love into Friends of Silence.

Each month we send out the newsletter in print and email to a growing community of over 10,000 people.

The monthly newsletter of contemplative quotes remains free and is made possible by your generosity and support.

And if you’ve already given, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU.
