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
White bird flying in the silence
take my soul with you.
I, a sparrow in God's sleeve,
nestled in the creamy folds,
fed with manna sweet as honey
from the honeycomb.
White bird flying
in the silence,
take my soul with you.
