Silence ~

We need to find God,

 and he cannot be found

 in noise and restlessness.

  God is the friend of silence.

  See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grow in silence;

  see the stars, the moon and the sun,

 how they move in silence.

  We need silence to be able to touch souls.” 

Mother Teresa

Shadowed ~

"I beg you to keep me in this silence

 so that I may learn from it
the word of your peace
and the word of your mercy
and the word of your gentleness

 to the world: and that through me

 perhaps your word of peace

 may make itself heard
where it has not been possible

 for anyone to hear it for a long time."

Thomas Merton

in January's deepest cold

 God will help her at break of day.

Seeing The New ~

"If you think you're seeing

 the same show all over again

 seven times a week, you're crazy.

 Every morning you wake up to something

 that in all eternity never was before

 and never will be again.

 And the you that wakes up was

 never the same before

 and will never be

 the same again either."

 Frederick Buechner
