O Silent Meeting, starting with a sigh Of helpless awaiting for God's Presence there, Each one alone, together sit, and I Of my own breathing in and out aware. The breath of God doth move within my heart As surely in, and out, as that of me. The Seed there needs to breathe if it's to start To grow, to act within my life, to be As breathing can't in life be hurried much, So, too, the Seed will take its breathing space. And, giving over will, desire, and such I wait, expectant, bound to time and place. Our mingled breathings fertilize the Seed, And help us grow from Inward Light to deed.
