Silence was here before everything else, and it envelopes

As we accept the invitation and enter the mystery of Silence,
its presence resonates through the fibers of our flesh while

[In communion with the Silence] we feel a new attunement to
Spirit as a directly felt reality. We have a bodily perception of
being welcomed into the vastness and fecundity of Silence.
