Things that enter by way of silence 2/16/11

-a soldier through a window
-a fly through an open door
-a wolf through the trees towards it's prey
-death can come and go silently
-a butterfly into a flower
-the presence of god whether you're in the church looking for help or out in the real world knowing he's there. You might be praying over a child and feel a sudden warmth across you're shoulders. You might find yourself staring at headlights in your own lane and then suddenly it's over and you're safe. Maybe you're a victim of a crime and just when you're ready to crack, someone or something comes along to to put a smile on your face. A friend calls when you're crying tos ee if you're ok. You're parents make a surprise visit just when you're ready to strangle you're kids.:-)
He may not be in that exact spot you're standing in but he'll send someone to that spot or something to fill in. He knows what's needed without anyone speaking and he can answer without a sound. Silence can be both good and bad. Calming to the frenzied and maddening to those already in it. Some are trained to enter a place silently and some practice to do it.
