Silence is our deepest nature,
our home, our common ground,
our peace.
Silence reveals.
Silence heals.
~ from SHARING SILENCE by Gunilla Norris
'Tis not in seeking,
'Tis not in endless striving
Thy quest is found.
Be still and listen.
Be still, and rink the silence
Of all around.
Not for the crying,
Nor for Thy loud beseeching
Will peace draw near.
Rest, with palms folded,
Rest with thine eyelids fallen --
Lo, peace is here.
