“Our deepest feelings are precisely those we are least able to express, and even in the act of adoration, silence is our highest praise.” – Neville Goddard.

Expression collapses under the weight of intensity. The stronger a feeling, the harder it is to articulate. In moments of overwhelming joy, people laugh or cry.

Silence is a language. Words are too small. Deeper truths defy language and logic. This is the Daoist essence – that logic can’t fully capture truth. Reverence, happiness, freedom and love are felt directly. You cannot know them intellectually, nor debate or substantiate them.

Daoism holds that the inexpressibility of deep feelings is not a defect but their very nature. They belong to mystery. Defining them would betray their essence. What makes them sacred is precisely their resistance to capture — they spill over the edges of language and leave us in silence, where presence itself becomes the truest expression.

Allow silence as expression. Then close with reverence.
