"My soul is my counsel and has taught me to give ear to the voices which are created neither by tongues nor uttered by throats.
"Before my soul became my counsel, I was dull, and weak of hearing, reflecting only upon the tumult and the cry. But, now, I can listen to silence with serenity and can hear in the silence the hymns of ages chanting exaltation to the sky and revealing the secrets of eternity."
Kahlil Gibran
Mirrors of the Soul
