May your silence be in
holy communion with the
Indwelling Guest
of your heart...
Silence blossoms in prayer.
~ by Raimon Panikkar
Silence is no passive thing. It is a vibrant presence which fills any vacuum in sound and conveys its own living quality. Most of us know the truth of the phrase "the silence that sounds," and the old adage "silence is golden" means more than just that it is safe or wise. It means that it is golden in the sense of being filled with light.
