In the depths of silence, we are all one, and it is through interior stillness that knowledge of our oneness with the Creator reaches us. It has been truly said that the voice of silence carries infinitely farther than the loudest cry. Such a union as this can never be ours except in silence, and through stillness and deep prayer and meditation we can begin to comprehend the meaning of Infinity and of that one Mind in which we all live and move and have our being.
Were You not to grant me the grace   
during the night-watchers   
of drinking the silence,   
of diving into it,   
of being soaked in it,   
How should I know   
that inner silence,   
without which   
one can hear   
neither others   
nor You?
