Deep in the darkness of a silent night and quietly in the secret of your soul, the Mystery of God continues to be born.
~ Doris Klein
Even with its storms, winter is the quietest time of year. There is nothing like the quiet after a storm. If you have had the privilege of being in the mountains right after a snowfall when there is no wind, nothing is moving, the snow is sucking up every sound, and you hear a deep silence everywhere, you know how potent this silence is.
