The purpose of silence

S. Wendy Beckett | November 2015 (Vol. XXVIII, No. 10)
The purpose of silence is a directed stillness.
~ S. Wendy Beckett

Real silence is both supremely simple and yet not easy

S. Wendy Beckett | November 2008 (Vol. XXI, No. 10)

Real silence is both supremely simple and yet not easy. It draws us into a dimension always open to those who will allow themselves to be centered. ... We enter into silence to let the holiness of mystery take possession of us.

~ S. Wendy Beckett

The gate that silence opens up within us leads to light

S. Wendy Beckett | January 2006 (Vol. XIX, No. 1)

If we allow silence to open up within, we shall see the gate and be free to open it. The gate that silence opens up within us leads to light. Light exposes us with an almost merciless radiance and, in the exposure, reveals the beauty of the real.

Silence is a directed stillness, which receives rather than acts.

~ S. Wendy Beckett

We have only to be still

S. Wendy Beckett | January 1997 (Vol. X, No. 1)

Silence reminds us that we have only to be still and let the waters of grace refresh us and the sunlight of peace shine upon us.

~ S. Wendy Beckett

The gate that silence opens

S. Wendy Beckett | December 1996 (Vol. IX, No. 11)
