Within each of us there is a hidden fullness of all our possibilities. We don’t know it is there because it is hidden. I call this hidden fullness, God. Well, God or not, how do we access this creative energy to be all that we can be? Silence, and I don’t mean simply not making noise. Even when we make no noise on the outside, our insides, our mind, feelings, affections are making lots of noise. So the silence needs to be one of not paying attention to inner or outer noise, and this is what I call meditation. It needs to be deep in order to access the hidden presence. This does not mean we see something, or have visions. That would appeal to the imagination. It must be deep enough so that we gradually change for the better. We touch our hidden fullness. We move from fearing love, to wanting to love, to loving inconsistently, fits and starts, to becoming love. I am still too noisy, but working on it. Not in charge of results, just effort on a daily basis.
