Inhaltsangabe

Meditation is a way of life for millions; at the end of a Hindu's life, he renounces all and becomes a wandering ascetic; and the Japanese tea ceremony provides an interlude of spiritual relaxation within lives rooted in activity. Others find their creative inspiration through gardening, walking, watching the sea, or listening to music. The Spirit of Silence is for those who wish to look beyond the speed and superficiality of our modern lifestyle to find depth and spiritual space. It is devoted to clearing the clutter from our minds, and to feeding the creative heart and soul.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"In this gentle and inspiring book John Lane creates the silence he longs for with the beauty of his words and the weight and poise of his thoughts. He evokes several spiritual traditions and many remarkable writers and mystics for whom silence was not just golden, but platinum. He makes important connections between silence, which is necessary for our sanity and creativity, and enchantment, simplicity, and art. He is part of the soft, quiet, and reflective revolution that wants to replace the hysteria and violence of modern life with self-possession, contemplation, and deep pleasure. I am with him and thank him for this whispering manifesto." - Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
