Many of you have sent me quotes or lyrics or passages that you have come upon this month that pertain to our theme and/or the reflections that I have sent to you about silence, stillness, listening, etc. Most recently CR came across these lines from Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB and sent them to me:

“Silence is like a river of grace inviting us to leap unafraid into its beckoning depths. It is dark and mysterious in the waters of grace. Yet in the silent darkness we are given new eyes. In the heart of the divine we can see more clearly who we are. We are renewed and cleansed in this river of silence. There are those among you who fear the Great Silence. It is a foreign land to you. Sometimes it is good to leap into the unknown. Practice leaping.”
