In the Quaker tradition our prayers rise out of the silence.
We enter into this silence in receptivity, with expectation, expecting the still small voice of the divine to utter itself. Expecting to receive a message from Source or at the least to feel the presence of G-d.
I believe it is a time in the midst of isolation, depression, bewilderment and grief … in this parenthesis of eternity that we are being called to “be still and know.”
It is from this deep silence that hope arises…
It is from this deep silence that peace can arise
It is from this deep silence that Unity can arise
It is from this deep silence that indeed joy may arise It is from this silence that the presence manifests Bringing us into the realization of Oneness…with G-d Oneness with all beings.
In truth there is no separation …
The light, ‘that divine spark’, that was before Abraham The divine spark that lighteth every being that comes into manifestation
Unites us in ONENESS
