The more alert we become to the blessings that flow into us from everything we touch, the more our own touch will bring blessing.
~ by Br. David Stendl-Rast
... When one enters the mystery of God, the first mystery is silence. When one loves another, silence is absolutely necessary. Long before lovers can speak openly of their love, they speak by silence, a deep silence, especially when it deals with God. It is by entering the mystery of silence that slowly everyone becomes like our Beloved.
