There is a wise old man who never spoke, not because he couldn’t, that he had nothing to say. It was because he believed that language deceived, that by its very nature it clouded the truth, it made the world harder to know. He believed that the truth, the truth lived only in silence….where all love is found.
He communicated in other ways, mainly through the food he prepared from his garden. It conveyed his affections, gratitude and sometimes his indifference, far better than any words could convey. It was said that he could change minds in that way by softening the hardest of hearts….. all the while never having to say a word.
