All too often you speak simply to fill the space with sound,
because you feel too uncomfortable with the silence.
But this silence is golden.
Only in silence you can hear God speak to you.
Only in silence can a real prayer,
a heart prayer be born.
Next time you start chattering,
stop and feel into the silence,
feel its shape,
its texture,
and then slowly and silently say only what really has to be said.
