At Christmas
we long for
the innocence
portrayed in a child
At Christmas
we long for
light
love
connection
peace
Kneeling
in the face of Christmas
connects us
with the silence
within us
In the silence
we float
into the deep
and we experience
what is always present:
Innocence
Light
Love
Connection
Peace
Our Self …
When courage comes
and you will come to Me
I strip you naked
and leave you with no-thing
I clothe you now
with silence, wisdom, truth
with beauty and compassion
Reality then knocks
softly upon your door
and with the shining key
you found inside your heart
the broken door slides open
to leave you now with All …
When we do not search for meaning in the words
And listen to them like music
When we do not search for form in the words
And read them like an artwork
We might discover
What is hidden
Beyond and close
Outer and inner
Omnipresent
Rapturing
Silence …
Every word
separates
us from them
I from you
Silence
unites
us with them
I with you
No word
can express
the sacred
Silence
that is …
When there is no “I” listening
Silence is listening
When there is no “I” listening
Peace is listening
When there is no “I” listening
Love is listening
And in the cradle
of Silence, Peace and Love
gently rocks
on the rythm of the heart
the fruit of Compassion …
When Grace seduces you to dance
Love will be your partner
Truth will be your rythm,
Compassion your guide
And when the dance has ended
Utter Silence will be your resting place …
When silence knocks softly on your door
Let silence answer from within
Be still and let the silent knocking
find its way to You, Who always waits
And when the outer and inner silence meet
All that is left is Gratitude …
When words are no more needed
and all the words are silence
When searching’s no more needed
and searching is the finding
When talking ‘s no more needed
and talking is the listening
Then everything rejoices
in deep and new found silence
And in your heart there is
the moving sound
of ever present
silent bursting joy …
