The Silence

I am bold enough to face the Silence.

hen we seek the Silence, what will we find? Too often, we find concerns of the moment, yesterday, or tomorrow. They sidle up beside us to whisper in our ears like old friends come to keep us company. We are not there for them, but for the Silence.

In seeking the Silence, we must be bold enough to go it alone, to push aside our familiar, comfortable mental travelers. We seek the unknown, more, we seek the Unknowable, and we must climb to that high place alone, unburdened from familiar thoughts to meet a new and greater Friend.

In the Silence, we find how to dissolve our illusory concerns and know ourselves. We are bold enough to face the Silence!

Matthew 6:6, “But as for you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber and lock your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall himself reward you openly.”
