The louder our world today is, the deeper God seems to remain in silence. Silence is the language of eternity; noise passes.

This much I have learned: within the sorrow there is grace. When we come close to the things that break us down, we touch those things that also break us open. This is the point of healing: when we have told the story, we can leave the story behind. What remains is hidden wholeness, alive and unbroken.
