The old tree of eternal creative life lives with an open heart, very deep roots, and many branches waiting to transform into new life.
~ Richard W. Bachtold
... When one enters the mystery of God, the first mystery is silence. When one loves another, silence is absolutely necessary. Long before lovers can speak openly of their love, they speak by silence, a deep silence, especially when it deals with God. It is by entering the mystery of silence that slowly everyone becomes like our Beloved.
