For this Sunday, I pause from the tumultuous week and encourage you to spend part of your day in the silence of nature, even if it is only through images or words. Here are two powerful descriptions from Annie Dillard’s 1982 book Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters. (Susan Nettleton)
“The silence is all there is. It is the alpha and the omega, it is God's brooding over the face of the waters; it is the blinded note of the ten thousand things, the whine of wings. You take a step in the right direction to pray to this silence, and even to address the prayer to "World." Distinctions blur. Quit your tents. Pray without ceasing.”
