Meeting for Worship

A pool of silence
Into which words may fall
To both ripple out and dissolve
To touch the listener
To touch the parts other silences do not reach
Touching those not present
Through our experience of that touch
We enter the silent whole
Which contains everything.
A Quaker meeting

Amazingly evocative, sublime in context – and just… brilliant. I love the final lines:

“We enter the silent whole
Which contains everything.


The speak volumes in the unsaid of what is said and known.
