'Silence is God's first language.' - John of the Cross
When the sky clears
and radiance out shines the dark
beauty is unbounded.
Beyond reason... beyond senses.
There breathe in the light,
become enveloped, soaked
with lumination's love.
Rise. Take flight.
Search the Unknowable.
Glide through the liminal.
Enter the aurora,
where heaven and earth are indistinguishable.
Open the dark curtain of space and time.
Join the heart of the universe.
Here knowledge dwindles,
only the trust of Love makes certain sense.
You'll find no compass in this realm;
navigation is done according to faith alone.
- Silence, we are told, is
the only true sound in space,
the total consumption of holiness.
Let it draw us quietly onward...
far ahead lies the true horizon!
