For silence is not God, nor speaking; fasting is not God, nor eating; solitude is not God, nor company; nor any other pair of opposites. God is hidden between them and cannot be found by anything your soul does, but only by the love of your heart. God cannot be known by reason, nor by thought, caught, or sought by understanding. But God can be love and chosen by the true, loving will of your heart.

For your prayer your journey into God, may you be given a small storm a little hurricane named after you, persistent enough to get your attention violent enough to give you to new depths strong enough To shake you to the roots majestic enough to remind you of your origin: made of the earth yet steeped in eternity frail human dust yet soaked with infinity.
