Quote from Sermon about Silence

"If this experience (silence) persists - it means that something of the greatest importance is happening.  It means that God is inviting me to discover him no longer as another alongside me but as my own deepest and truest self.  He is calling me from the experience of meeting him to the experience of finding my identity in him.  I cannot see him because his is my eyes.  I cannot hear him because he is my ears.  I cannot walk to him because he is my feet.  And if apparently I am alone and he is not there that is because he will not separate his presence from my own.  If he is not anything at all, if he is nothing, that is because he is no longer another.  I must find him in what I am or not at all."

from Tensions by H.A. Williams
