It Is To This Silence [contemplative Prayer]

The Soul Of The Artist Cannot Remain Hidden.

The Art Of Living Is To Enjoy What We Can See And Not Complain About What Remains In The Dark.

Trust That The Treasure We Look For Is Hidden In The Ground On Which We Stand.

A Friend Is More Than A Therapist Or Confessor, Even Though A Friend Can Sometimes Heal Us And Offer Us God's Forgiveness. A Friend Is That Other Person With Whom We Can Share Our Solitude, Our Silence, And Our Prayer. A Friend Is That Other Person With Whom We Can Look At A Tree And Say, "isn't That Beautiful," Or Sit On The Beach And Silently Watch The Sun Disappear Under The Horizon. With A Friend We Don't Have To Say Or Do Something Special. With A Friend We Can Be Still And Know That God Is There With Both Of Us.

Hiddenness Is The Place Of Purification. In Hiddenness We Find Our True Selves.
