If we really want to pray, we must first learn to listen,
for in the silence of the heart, God speaks.
The earth beneath my feet is the great womb
out of which the life upon which my body depends
comes in utter abundance.
There is at work in the soil a mystery
by which the death of one seed
is reborn a thousandfold in newness of life.
out of which the life upon which my body depends
