Silence

Silence was created, not for silence sake alone ~ It is not the wonder to behold, but is merely an epicenter.  The sanctuary above the deep where the search begins.  Where pondering truth turns into revelatory life; where apparent hopeless reality turns into fadeless hope once again.  Silence is the empty canvas where given permission to paint upon – our hearts – the Artist brushes tones of liquid love – the beauty of His imagination.  A whisper of blue revelation blows upon the amber flicker of yesterday’s fading hope, until a joyful whirlwind of red and green, orange and yellow, blue, indigo and violet give way to groans and cries too deep for utterance.  Color transformed into sound causing a symphony of shifting and stirring – deep crying unto deep – below the surface of understanding; yet somehow…Spirit to spirit… my lame feet begin to dance a mysterious knowing – until color and wind; groan and stir, erupt into untamed, raw praise!

               ~Thus fulfilling true purpose to silence ~

“To You belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed” Psalm 65:1
