The following is a poem from Austin's book.

THE SILENCE OF TRUTH

.

In the moment when a star is born.

When the sun's first rays rise in the morning

awakening the world.

In the moment a child is born opening their eyes.

When the first embrace of love has come,

the knowledge in the heart.

In the moment a poem is written or the

first strokes of a picture painted.

With the first notes of a melody played,

like a truth that has always been there

waiting for someone to listen.

There is a time when the whole world falls silent.

When all mouths shall close and all ears

shall open and the whole world will listen.

If only for a moment and truth is spoken

heard and truly understood.

Then for the first time humankind will see

what it means to live in harmony and true

understanding of our existence.

For the meaning of truth is within that

which goes unheard.

In deeds that go undone and words that go unspoken.

The silence of whispers speaks

louder than a thousand voices.
