The louder our world today is, the deeper God seems to remain in silence. Silence is the language of eternity; noise passes.
~ Gertrud von Le Fort, thanks to Barb Yatsevich
If you love truth, be a lover of silence. Silence, like the sunlight, will illuminate you in God, and will unite you to God. Love silence: it brings you a fruit that tongue cannot describe. In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent. But then there is born something that draws us to silence. May God give you an expression of this "something" that is born of silence. After a while, a certain sweetness is born in the heart, and you are drawn almost by force to remain in silence.
