To live fully, outwardly and inwardly, not to ignore reality for the sake of the inner life, or the reverse – that’s quite a task!

To live fully, outwardly and inwardly, not to ignore reality for the sake of the inner life, or the reverse – that’s quite a task!
~ Etty Hillesum
When the world tells us
we are what we do with our activity, acumen, or achievement
let us learn
WE ARE WHAT WE DO WITH OUR SILENCE.When the world tells us
we are what we do with our spending power, selling power, or our
power of speech,
let us learn
WE ARE WHAT WE DO WITH OUR SILENCE.When the world tells us
to drown the silent sufferings of others with indifference or noise
or to forget the art of stillness even in the storm,
let us learn
WE ARE WHAT WE DO WITH OUR SILENCE.When the world tells us
to rush in where angels fear to tread,
let us learn that angels listen first
before they take a step
FOR THE VOICE OF GOD IN THE SILENCE…
