Saying For Today: Then, if we speak after honoring the silent space, our words are more likely to flow from and be imbued with the flavor of the Quiet.
Quiet, peaceful, receptive resting in the Aloneness alive within where Solitude communes with Solitude in silently loving another without going out into a world of words
When uncomfortable in the presence of the pain of another, or when feeling we need to say something even if saying something need not be said at all, we often fill the space with words. We do this, as though spaces are less important than what we fill them with. We could, rather, let the space be an invitation, even a word in itself, or an act of compassion in being-with, communication much deeper than that which can be spoken. The heart has a language all its own, and it is not limited even by distance. Then, if we speak after honoring the silent space, our words are more likely to flow from and be imbued with the flavor of the Quiet. We, also, need time alone, times apart, even between those we are close to, so we commune with the living Silence, so we can be more a means of being able to communicate with and from the Silence, whether the communication is with words or wordless.
Presence speaks more powerfully than ever did or can the finest or holiest of speech

I sat beside the patient, who was lying asleep in bed. I did not want to wake her. I appeared just to be sitting, but in the Quiet appearance is never what is the full reality. I looked at the caregiver, a deeply religious woman, as she stood beside me. I asked her, "Do you know what one has to do to pray?" She asked, looking surprised at the question but interested, "What?" "Nothing," I replied. Briefly, she looked confused. I added, "Just being with someone can be prayer. That can be communion." She smiled, eyes no longer showing confusion but bright with joy, as though she had just seen a jewel of Life she had never seen before.

in the Quiet silently being with another sensing deepening Presence movement from body and mind, deeper, less of self out of this, without words, spirit touches spirit a true, unseen work and connection occurs this cannot occur outside Spirit, only in Spirit
few seem to know this so focus caring for another in words and actions caring for others body to body not knowing this grand action of Love meeting Love in Silence in the same Life we all are in timeless Eternity
in this Silence with the other self decreases, Life increases with less of self more of Grace the other needs this Grace rather than needing you even if the other does not know this ~ you know it
