Silence and Sound—The Language of the Soul

 To truly hear, you must listen between the words

Elaboration: You think that to hear is to focus on what is spoken, but the Mad Mage learned that the true meaning often lies between the words, in the pauses, the breaths, the moments of silence that punctuate speech. To listen deeply is not just to hear words, but to hear what is not said, to sense the emotion, intention, and truth that live in the spaces between.

 Reflection:

Think about a recent conversation where the pauses or silences between words conveyed more than the words themselves. How might you listen more deeply by focusing on the spaces between speech? What is said in silence that is often missed?
