Last year, I started down a path that has afforded me the deepest rewards my heart, mind and soul have ever realized. After an unexpected loss last June, guilt, shock and fear all fixed a stronghold on me. A month and a half later, awaking from the shock, I intuitively felt called to silence. I didn't know why or how or where I was going to create space for quiet, but I was heart-longingly drawn to deep, meditative silence.
