Wonderful reflection, thank you.

I think immediately of the utter lack of silence in most of my daily life. Then, when there is a moment of quiet, it's difficult ... maybe even frightening? Because that silence is an invitation to experience reality and converse with God. Amazing how we resist that.

Thanks for reading Sarah. I appreciate the encouragement.

Yeah, I feel that too. Silence can feel like emptiness at first—almost like withdrawal. But over time, I've notice it start feeling like presence instead. Amazing how what once felt threatening slowly becomes home.
