Silence is our deepest nature,
our home, our common ground,
our peace.
Silence reveals.
Silence heals.
~ from SHARING SILENCE by Gunilla Norris
When silence, wonder, adoration are diminished, so are human beings. We imagine we can get by on love and indeed we can. But love shrivels up and dies in the absence of contemplation and adoration. Love, human love, needs to be transfigured, transcended, if it is to be true to its deepest self.
