Oh, God of dust and rainbows, help us see.
That without dust the rainbow would not be.
That without dust the rainbow would not be.
~ Langston Hughes from "Two Somewhat Different Epigrams" in THE POEMS: 1951-1967
One of the reasons why communication in general in our society is so shallow and boring is that it does not grow out of silence and solitude. Consequently there is no communion. ...Communication could be a kind of communion if indeed we were a more silent and solitary people. Where we live with God alone in silence, then when we come out of that holy, sacred space, we are deepened and not only ready but longing to share with others the deeper dimensions of life.
