Familiar Silence from "Just Around this Corner"

Familiar Silence.

Sometimes during solitude
I hear truth spoken
with clarity and freshness;
uncolored and untranslated
it speaks from within myself
in a language
original but inarticulate,
heard only with the soul,
and I realize
I brought it with me...
-Hugh B. Brown (The Eternal Quest)

I don't want to forget what I "heard" today
I heard it in the silence.

And it sounded very familiar.
...like I brought it with me.
