Rachel Naomi Remen Quotes

The Silence In The Giant Redwood Forest Near My House Draws Me...At Eight In The Morning, The Great Trees Stand Rooted In A Silence So Absolute That One's Inmost Self Comes To Rest. An Aged Silence. Some Mornings I Sleep Through Two Alarms And Awaken Only After The First Buses Have Arrived. I Go Anyway. There Are Hundreds Of People In The Woods Before Me. People Speaking French, German, Spanish; People Marveling To Each Other And Calling To Their Children In Japanese, Swedish, Russian, And Some Languages I Do Not Know. And Children Shrieking In The Universal Language Of Childhood. But The Silence Is Always There, Unchanged. It Is As Impervious To These Passing Sounds As The Trees Themselves.
