The Language of Silence

The conceptual mind knows only the language of reason and logic. It immediately disregards any understanding that presents in another form, as irrelevant, invalid or unreal.

I only speak English. I could assume that someone speaking another language was spouting nonsensical gobbledygook, and casually discount their messages, off hand. That, of course, would be foolish, incredibly egocentric and woefully wasteful.

There are valuable inner languages of vision and metaphor, mist and riddle, hint and silence. Do not let the thinker brush them away.
