One little bee peeks out to see
A world of grey and snow.
She's looking for bright colors.
And she needs you to help them grow.
~ Christie Matheson in THE HIDDEN RAINBOW: A SPRINGTIME BOOK FOR KIDS
Silence before the Beloved has deep significance in the quietness of the soul as the individual sinks into the central fire of communion. In the circle of community the most personal elemental chords of life receive their deepest stimulation. In the silent act of breathing and in the unspoken dialogue of the soul with Love, solitary as these are, deep communion can be given.
