About This Quote

When you go far, far beyond, out across the netherlands of the Known, the din of human static slowly fades away, over and out. In this quote, Pema Chödrön speaks about our relationship to all that is beyond us. To the North Pole, the Arctic Circle and other places where humans have never been. She says that these distant places are a silent voice to those who can hear it.
