One cultivates silence not by forcing the ears not to hear, but by turning up the volume on the music of the world and soul.
~ from MEDITATIONS by Thomas Moore
Direct experience suggests that contemplation and deep self-forgetfulness draw us into God, in whom we have our life and being. This magnetic, purifying silence has healing power: it fuses time -- brings past, present and future to a single still and perfect point. Here healing (what we call a miracle) is automatic. This stillpoint is love, and only love heals.
