Within us is a music through which the ancient longing of the earth finds a voice.

"There is a voice within you that no one, not even you, has ever heard. Give yourself the opportunity of silence and begin to develop your listening in order to hear, deep within yourself, the music of your own spirit. When you really listen to this music, you begin to hear the beautiful way it constellates and textures the silence, how it brings out the hidden mystery of silence. Long before humans arrived on earth, there was an ancient music here. In the great music [of the heart], the ancient longing of the earth finds a voice."
