Part 2
Be still and know.
Be still and look.
Let the eyes of the mind be closed
that you may hear
what otherwise you would not hear,
that you may know
what otherwise you would not know.
Abandon yourself to God
in longing love, simply,
holding on to nothing but God.
So you may enter the silence of eternity
and know the union of yourself with God.
And if in the silence God does not answer,
God is still there.
God’s silence is the silence of love.
Wait then in patience
and in submission.
It is good to wait in silence
for God’s coming.
