GOD IS FOUND IN THE BOTTOMLESS OCEAN OF SILENCE
But the silence in the mindis when we live best, withinlistening distance of the silencewe call God. This is the deepcalling to deep of the psalm-writerthe bottomless oceanwe launch the armada of our thoughts on, never arriving.
It is presence, then, whose margins are our margins;that call us out over ourown fathoms. What to dobut draw a little nearer tosuch ubiquity by remaining still?
R. S. Thomas (1913-2000)
