The Greatest Wisdom (Tanka)

The greatest wisdom

Is not found in our speaking

But in our silence

Listen to your inner voice

And you may just learn the truth

    Very wise words. Always a smart idea to listen to our inner thoughts.

      Thanks Charles, it is something that I am working very hard on, it’s amazing what I hear when I shut my mouth. :)

    Dom, Thanks for that “:like” on my latest! It’s been too long since I visited you! I like this….silence & that inner voice….favorite topics for me all my life. I also like to say, “Too many people are writing who should be reading.” I put myself atop the list….so I write less & struggle to find more reading time each evening. That puts me way down re time on the blogging circuit reading you & others….great wonderful people I have found here! Thank you. Phil

    1. Dom DiFrancesco Avatar

      Thank you Phil. I need to increase my reading time. I have so many books that I want to read, I think I have 3 or 4 books going right now, but I also love to write so I guess I need to work on finding some balance. Anyway, enjoy your reading and thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it my friend.
