Dear Sara, you have composed an exceptional Monoku that is highly relevant. Silence holds the power of prayer, expressing what words may fail to convey.

thanks, dear Sotto, for stopping by and for your kind words about my Monoku. I believe in the power of silence, and prefer it to noisy situations. Too many distractions for my tastes..I digress. Silence is like intuition...always there with answers if we only listen. Have a pleasant day, Sara

Sometimes words fail, when theres too much to say, and all that we see and hear is way beyond we could comprehend. The best way to wish someone well, and to wish for things to get better, is through a heartfelt silent prayer, cus prayers do wonders and can only be our light during darkest of times! You’ve said so much in one line! I love how gracefully you do that. Sending you light today and always

thanks, dearest Ink, for your insightful and thoughtful comments. You're so right. Sometimes words aren't enough, for what we want and need to say is beyond us. I believe in prayer, especially the silent ones. Prayers are miraculous! Wishing you a day filled with the same light you give others. Grateful for you, Sara
