Silence

I have been quiet, lately, but it's been necessary.

Today, I just want to offer an excerpt from Joy Harjo's "Eagle Poem":

To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can't see, can't hear
Can't know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren't always sound but other
Circles of motion.

Peace and blessings to you all! 
Maria

  1. Beautiful poem. My Heart takes it in like fresh air. "...And know there is more that you can't see, can't hear, can't know except in moments, steadily growing, and in languages that aren't always sound." Yes! In moments of Silence, in the language of the Silence of the Heart...

    I hope you are getting much needed Silence! I know my Heart longs for Silence and I get it any way I can!

    Much Love Star Light :) C
