Silence is the strength of our interior life. If we fill our lives with silence, then we live in hope.
~ Thomas Merton with thanks to Susan Bower
Each individual who conquers the panic of their nightmare, who faces up to the terror of evil, and thereby discovers a goodness which heals and cannot be destroyed, brings fresh love into the world. The deepening of their capacity for love will first heal their own wound, and then go further, extending its gentle influence upon family, friends, and out to the world.
