Silence

Silence....

I have been discovering G-d in intense silence.

I have theories about this, answered prayers about this...

Taize...powerful.

G-d is the infinite nothing, so far transcendent, so loving, so incomprehensible, slipping from ones grip just when they think they have a hold of him . Why would G-d not be found in silence, as silence is nothing...at least nothing I am able to comprehend.

Silence can be so loud.

I recall standing on top of a mountain in Colorado, Kell and Emily were lost...I was alone...It was a silence I had never experienced. It was frightening yet comforting...Intense...crushing...I cried...
