Here is the five star review from my lovely friend Diane who’s website can be found here.

The “little thoughts of life, nature, peace, freedom and love” in this collection are like whispers in the ear, not from any human source but from the sensory and spiritual rhythms of nature and the Universe. The title is perfect, for this is as close as words can be to silence, happening as they will, without any intellectualizing or reaching for meaning. This is a miniature book of Zen that anyone can practice just by reading it through or opening it randomly to be calmed, connected to the intuition, and reminded that beauty, peace and love are always available. It offers a place in which to be safe and encouraged. The reflections in this book are hypnotic—even as one reads, like closing the eyes and breathing in their promptings to observe, experience, imagine and believe.

Martin Shone is a poet who knows that …

“Poetry doesn’t have to be words

Poetry can be your dreams

your memories

your future

Poetry lives within your soul

Poetry is you”

Silence Happens is a lovely book to give yourself, or anyone else, and treasure for its spontaneity, simplicity, sublimity and, not least, the quietness of its poetry.
