Fullness Of Silence

 Silence is the poverty of sound, but in that poverty is the richness of God.  In silence our deepest self, our center, is gifted with fullness.  Many of us run from silence because it seems that nothing is there or here.  It feels lonely, maybe boring, too inactive.  But the silence is wedded to waiting.  We wait.  We wait hidden from the world while in this silence.  Patience.  Trust.  You don’t need to be a monk, hidden, obscure from the world’s eye and activity.  But you must step away from the noise, the busyness, and from being noticed, being important, at least for that time of being in the silence.  Become no one for a bit of time.  This is the stance of one in interior prayer.
