In every moment,
in every event of your life
Wisdom
is whispering to you
exactly what you need to hear and know.
Who can ever explain this miracle?
It simply is.
Listen
and you will discover it
every passing moment.
Listen
and your whole life
will become a conversation
in thought and act between you and
Wisdom,
directly,
wordlessly,
now,
and always.
Those who neglect silence bring only a distracted heart and a preoccupied mind to their prayer and, instead of deriving new strength from it, they only offer God a heart full of trifles. Intimate conversation with God is easily stifled if you do not first put an end to exterior chatter; yet, if you love silence and keep it well, your heart will be a temple where God will dwell and become known to you there.
