Roar of Silence

The roar of silence reassures.  Silence when reading, when working, when doing household chores, when laying in bed loving the comfort and warmness.  The roar of crowds deafens, hurts my brain.  Tolerance for simultaneous multiple noisy things once is small.  But silence….silence…

Be silent and know that I am GOD.  Ps 46:10.

Be silent

Be still, aware;

In your own heart

The Spirit

Is at prayer;

Listen and learn,

Open and find,

Heart wisdom, 

Christ

Catchers

Blessing

Hand over nose

Plunge back into

Mystery

Unband yourself from this sinful place.

Hand in hand with Jesus go,

Unfailing love then you will know.
