Silence Like Thunder is about finding the mean.

That sweet spot in life where there is neither excess nor deficiency.

Where there is the harmony of living life to its fullest but not being overly attached to it.

Where there is freedom to explore what is inherently good for its own sake, and less focus on the constrained life of money making.

Where there is connection to the whole.
