where silence prays ~ on Pure Prayer

the grace of being prayer

Page 3


why relax in Pure Prayer?
Purity is an expression within silence
for Silence is source of sound ~ Source of all

even a close look at words reveals
words arise from silence, not silence from words

like music, in which the musical notes
find a context in the gaps, or silence, between the notes

without the silence
there is no music

while, silence can be without music
showing music depends on silence

the Word, then, is not a word
but the Word before words
the Word is silent, expressed in words

the Word arises from the un-expressable
from which the Word itself is silently-in-Silence

so, Pure Prayer does not exclude saying or singing prayers
yet, is closer to the heart's true longing, and Home

we could say, paradoxically, then,
Pure Prayer is Silence itself praying in silence
