... and how could anyone believe
that anything in this world
is only what it appears to be—
that anything in this world
is only what it appears to be—
~ Mary Oliver from "What Is It?" in HOUSE OF LIGHT
Those who practice a watch of silence each day find their devotion takes them into ever-deepening realizations of God's immediate presence.
Silent watch periods are momentous opportunities that call for alert, expectant, and reverent participation. They are a foundation for prayer and an altar of awareness in the temple of reception.
They constitute the practice of our realization of God's immediate presence. The high moment of silence is that of consciously realizing God's envelopment.
