Faith

You say, Love is nearest God! Then I say Faith is as necessary, only able to know God by such warmth of ignorance – by such blessed sense of security – by such heart-felt breath of presence. One can know…but then, one can truly know, far greater than all the tectonics of the earth, even the silence of grave a seeming trumpeting volume of yet more glorious life to come…

I have learned more from Silence than anything I have ever read nor heard preached. Quieting myself from the chatter of the world, from egoistic, pompous platforms, the many scientific podiums raucously orating -- God is always speaking to us positively within the Silence, while the Devil, a voluminous orchestra of brassy-pride, doubts and fears rattling our physical senses, negatively affecting our thought processing. Silence is our larger ear, wax free:) -- Blessings my friend.
