without restraint

Dreaming from the inside out
This vessel desperately trying to sprout
Rain down on me oh Lord
Make beauty with this storyboard
Reveal your love to me once more
You are the waves, I am the shore
Open your arms and let me in
Create in me a new wineskin
Sweet Lord cover me in Your grace
On my knees I will embrace
Remind me now when my heart is faint
You are everlasting without restraint

truth in silence

"Silence is not simply the absence of noise or the
shutdown of communication with the outside world
but rather a process of coming to stillness.
Silent solitude forges true speech.
I'm not speaking of physical isolation;
solitude here means being alone with the Alone.
Experiencing the transcendent Other and growing
in awareness of ones identity as the BELOVED.
It is impossible to know another person intimately
without spending time together.
Silence makes this solitude a reality.
It has been said 'silence in solitude practiced in action'".
