Ojibway writer Richard Wagamese wrote a lot about silence. In silence, he said, we touch truth and allow our hearts to shift: “There are motions of the heart that occur only in quiet rooms, in the splendour of solitude where nothing and everything exists at the same time. Being and becoming have their confluence in these moments of touching your essence. You feel yourself to be a part of the great wheel of creative, nurturing, loving, benevolent energy that is spinning around us all the time.”
