Enter into the Silence, into the Heart of Truth; For herein lies the Great Mystery where life is ever unfolding... Listen for the Music of the Spheres in the resounding Silence of the universe. May balance and harmony be your aim as you are drawn into the Heart of Love.
~ Nan Merrill from her interpretation of "Psalm 132" in PSALMS FOR PRAYING

Just as God speaks to us through the words of scripture, so God speaks to us through the elements of creation. The cosmos is like a living sacred text that we can learn to read and interpret. Just as we prayerfully ponder the words of the Bible in Christian practice, and as other traditions study their sacred texts, so we are invited to listen to the life of creation as an ongoing, living utterance of God.
