Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay
attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration,

moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the
surface of your being.".

accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and
from the universe.
