“When two people shake hands or smile at each other, beneath the fact of these everyday gestures something meaningful is happening. We are signalling safety and friendship. To close our eyes in a group and to be silent together is an even greater gesture of trust. It allows anxieties, impatience and fear to subside. Shared silence is a symbolic gesture of anchored spiritual co-operation which transcends egotistical separateness.”
