Silence is our real nature... Holy and healing, there is no fear in silence. Silence is autonomous like love and beauty and untouched by time. Silence is meditation, free from any intention, free from anyone who meditates. Silence is the absence of oneself. And the one established in silence lives in constant offering, in prayer without asking, in thankfulness, in continual love.
Loving Lord God, help me to be aware of your loving presence regardless of where I am or what I am doing. Lead me into the center of your heart of love, The Holy of Holies where peace and joy abide. Let me live in your presence always.
