Premium Member A Shrunken Head and Other Mysteries
In the book nook I found it— a face no bigger than my palm, leathered and silent, its eyes forever pressed shut against whatever it had seen. Grandma said a missionary friend brought it back from somewhere halfway around the world. On the dining room window sill, a dozen squat green strangers kept their spines to themselves— silent travelers from the Southwest when my dad was still...

Premium Member Made in God’s image
To discern the truth transcending space-time, befriending silence, we entered the void, where emptiness was filled with bliss beat’s chime, revealing soul’s light, pure and unalloyed. “The silence faded with a soft embrace”, leaving in heart love’s benign after-burn, that as God’s grace entwined us with vast space, our presence reached the point of no return. We saw our Self, shining as living...
