In silence the still small voice can be heard

"Don’t despise the very simplest materials. Your silence is like the amino-acids in the womb, resting in fluid anticipation. When 'invaded' this environment is fertilised with possibilities. You don’t know/can't know what is to emerge when the seed of inspiration marries with the fertility of your own psyche. But what you can do is trust it.
"You would allow a child to grow as best suited it? Then allow your thoughts to do likewise. Don’t seek to impose an ego-ic parental discipline on them. For better or worse they'll reflect you anyway.
"At first, thoughts, or children, are like a cast taken from yourself. But if respected and allowed space to grow they come to assume an individual identity and can go out into the world unashamed of their origin."
