The dream of my life
Is to lie down by a slow river
And stare at the light in the trees —
To learn something by being nothing
A little while but the rich
Lens of attention.
~ Mary Oliver from "Entering the Kingdom" in DEVOTIONS
... silence is filled with a Presence that seeks us in our lostness, comforts us in our pain, heals us in our brokenness, and guides us in our confusion.
