Silence can contain within it all the music that can be played, for all of it emerges from silence. A word is a note. Silence is a symphony.
~ from IN SPEECH AND SILENCE by David J. Wolpe
In the silence of our prayerful hearts, we stand empty and are so able to hear God knocking at the door and longing to come inside. Too many words insulate us from our inner poverty. Too many words drown out the sound of God's voice at the door.
