Meditations : “The Quiet and the Calm”
Let us seek the quiet and the calm
Let us lay aside our loud calling
Let us lay aside our struggle
Speak softly: let us listen to the melodies that recall
other proportions
Our moments tarry not with us
Let us then seek the dimension that endures
beyond all nowness and hereness
beyond all requirement and all particularity
Let us speak softly that we may hear
Let us enter into the quiet
