Stories Before the Silence is a collection of stories and reflections intended to accompany the reader into meditation, rather than instruct them how to meditate. Each story begins in the familiar territory of everyday life: our thoughts, habits, expectations, anxieties, relationships and the curious conversations we continually have with ourselves. From there, the stories gently invite the reader towards observation, awareness and, eventually, silence. The book does not offer a formula for enlightenment or ask the reader to adopt a particular philosophy. It simply creates a small space between the noise of daily life and the quiet that may follow. Read one story. Sit with it for a while. Then, perhaps, close the book. What happens after that is the reader's own journey.
