As I was reading this passage from John O Donahue’s book ‘Divine Beauty’ this morning, I was inspired to write this:

In the Silence, from the Silence
In the Silence, from the silence,
comes love from the heart of the earth.
In the Silence, from the silence,
comes the word, awakening
In the Silence, from the silence,
comes colour, dancing at the sight of the eye.
In the Silence, from the silence,
arouses sound, envigoriating the ground
In the Silence, from the silence,
comes life
In the Silence, from the silence
It is you
In the Silence, from the silence
It is soul
Awakening from the breath
Spirit living
In the Silence, from the silence
Is you
Feels you
Becomes you
One with sound, word, love and life
In the silence , from the silence.
