Let us sing to the Creator of the cosmos, to the divine power of love! When we look at the wondrous display of the heavens, at the Earth with its infinite variety of life, Who are we that You love us, that You rejoice in our being; that You trust us to care for creation in all its splendor, inviting us to become co-creators with You? Let us celebrate the mystery of life! Let us commit our lives to the Divine Plan!
Living with an awareness of the companioning presence of angels . . . we come to realize angelic joy is working with us, surprising us, and reminding us that we are loved beyond measure. Limit not the myriad ways your angelic companions may knock on the door of your heart. Spending time in the Silence draws them nigh.
~ Nan Merrill, in Friends of Silence, December 2007
We come to know the power of Silence In deep meditation; here, True Wisdom emerges silently, Rising up from the Mystery Of the unseen Source within all.
Luminous is the word of Truth; like a laser beam, it cuts through ignorance and illusion. . . . Blessed are those who choose Truth. Their path is made straight, their spirit freed to soar.
Resplendent and eternal is Wisdom, readily perceived by those who listen in the Silence of the heart. Wisdom hastens to make Herself known; She is available to all who love and seek Her; who awakens Her from within will not be disappointed; for Wisdom awaits at the threshold.
The Earth is home to all creation, to be lovingly cared for by us in communion with the Divine Friend. Praises be to the Creator of the cosmos! With grateful hearts, let us give thanks! What other return can we give to the One, Who continues to gift us with life? When we open our heart to the Friend, when we live with compassion and kindness, we walk in beauty! We come to know the Divine Guest, Whose companioning Presence is ever with us.
Ask that your consciousness be filled with Light; ask to be illumined to follow the path of simplicity with integrity and inner sight. Inspired by Divine Light and Love you begin to express Divine Will in action: thus will your journey be eased, joy will nest in your heart. Awakening to the indwelling Divine Guest, Loving Companion Presence of your heart, family, friends, and strangers alike are greeted with compassion. A greater state of awareness being aroused, you recognize the interconnectedness of everything and everyone: the unity of diversity.
Silence and music Ebb and flow: Beauty of bird-song, The silence that follows: Afterglow which warms the heart Sets us yearning For our own soul-song: Journey in silence Take the path of Mystery To the music of your heart.
