“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you’re alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

Lovely quote. Your Buddha is silent too, but somehow I can almost hear him thinking —
Given that the Buddha sits on a busy main street in Provincetown, I imagine the Buddha is thinking A LOT!
That wonderful silence when your two very loud and rambunctious boys unexpectedly settle in with Legos for two hours. Ahhhhh…..
Ha! I can imagine!!
