Silence

"....If I don't let the world enter my silence, I can make my silence enter the world...I can look at my own life and that of others, with more hope and more truth, more sympathy and more depth...[Silence] generates in us a new capacity to accept, to love, to offer ourselves for others...silence is: an action of God in our lives: it is our action indwelt by Another. An Other indwells our time, giving it form. Silence is not an absence of affection. Rather, it is the presence of Love. It gradually causes a passage from a false reality that I have imagined, to the true, definitive reality in which the colors, tastes and loves are authentic and known for what they truly are."
