GOD Found in Silence

1
GOD IS FOUND IN THE BOTTOMLESS OCEAN OF SILENCE But the silence in the mind is when we live best, within listening distance of the silence we call God. This is the deep calling to deep of the psalm-writer the bottomless ocean we launch the armada of our thoughts on, never arriving. It is presence, then, whose margins are our margins; that call us out over our own fathoms. What to do but draw a little nearer to such ubiquity by remaining still? – R. S. Thomas (1913-2000)
