I think silence is a wonderful thing, if for no other reason that the 21st century is so loud. We are always surrounded by noise from traffic, from other people, from televisions, radios, stereos, headphones, telephones, notification sounds from electronics… We know that God is still there in all of our noise, but He is so much easier to discern in silence.
Then, of course, there is the noise of our own thoughts; I have things to do, where are my keys, bills are almost due, the car is making a funny noise, I think I forgot something at the store… next time I see so and so I’m giving him a piece of my mind, I’m going to tell him…
Oh yes, silence is a wonderful thing, you see silence is very much about being silent, for how else can we hear God?
