The Taste of Silence
Guiding Teacher Shinmon Michael Newton introduces The Taste of Silence: How I Came to Be at Home with Myself, by Belgian author Bieke Vandekerckhove who, at the age of 19, was diagnosed with ALS (a degenerative neurological disease). Michael speaks of how we can find freedom in stillness and what Dogen refers to as 'the backward step' — the deep and healing flow of silence.
