The Eloquence of Silence: Surprising Wisdom in Tales of Emptiness [Paperback]

EMBRACING EMPTINESS, STAYING OPEN, FINDING CALM

With compassion and insight, Thomas Moore offers a compelling case for an easier, lighter way of moving through life by experiencing the peace, calm, and openness of emptiness. Through ancient and modern stories, Moore gently shows that our constant multitasking may not be getting us anywhere, and that emptiness is not a lack but an invitation that can be our greatest teacher. A daily awareness and appreciation of the quiet spaciousness in our world and our own lives is not a retreat from reality but a rich and full welcome to all that is most meaningful and real.

The Eloquence of Silenceis itself eloquent and quiets the restless mind. The stories and comments point to the spaciousness that is inside everything. This is the understanding that gives life joy. The thing is that Thomas Moore has a lovely, easy style; as you read the book, the world starts to slow down, the stories make a bridge, the silence goes straight into your own heart. This book is delicious. I ate it all in one sitting.
