“The Spirit of Silence” - Making space for creativity” by John Lane.

​I loved this book as it suits my temperament completely. In my world I opted out of the hurly burly of work life, aged forty, to look deeply into silence with its core values. Silence is a complete world in itself.
Silence has greatness simply because it is. It is, and that is its greatness, pure existence. There is no beginning to silence and no end: it seems to have its origins in the time when everything was still pure.
In this gentle and inspiring book, John Lane creates the silence he longs for with the beauty of his words and the weight & poise of his thoughts. He evokes several spiritual traditions & many remarkable writers & mystics for whom silence was not just golden but platinum.
‘The Spirit of Silence’ is for those who wish to look beyond the speed & superficiality of our modern lifestyle to find depth & spiritual space in their lives.
