The presentations at this site cover a long time period. Each one represents part of an on-going Pilgrimage, and the writer's ideas, practices, and experience have changed over time. This change is the quality of any living Journey. Please read with this in mind, allowing the inner Teacher to speak to you as you need at this particular time in your own living Journey. Thanks!

The silence is there within us. What we have to do is to enter into it, to become silent, to become the silence. The purpose of meditation and the challenge of meditation is to allow ourselves to become silent enough to allow this interior silence to emerge. Silence is the language of the spirit.
*John Main. Word into Silence.

We are surrounded with expectations, spoken or unspoken
We tend, also, to have many expectations of ourselves
Often these expectations from others and self
are not reasonable, having nothing directly to do
with who we are or what we need to be doing
Prayerful Silence allows a sacred space
free of expectation
Here, Now, Silently
we can simply witness
the voices of expectation come and go
This witnessing allows us to see
into the evanescent nature of expectation
We learn in Silence to detach from expectations
to live more authentically, freely, and joyfully
Then, we can choose
more wisely the expectations that guide our actions
In this, we do not judge the role of expectation
rather, we are choosing to live consciously
assuming responsibility for our choices
