Ruah Bull - Spiritual Director

 the spirit, the truth of silent prayer - just the moon on the road

                                                                  Best of any song is bird song in the quiet, but first you hear the quiet.

I'm listening. But I don't know If what I hear is silence or God. I'm listening. But I can't tell If I hear the plane of emptiness echoing Or a keen consciousness That at the bounds of the universe Deciphers and watches me. I only know that I walk like someone Beheld, Beloved and Known. And because of this I put into my every movement Solemnity and Risk.

I close my eyes.    The darkness implies your presence, the shadow of your steep mind on my world. I shiver in it. It is not your light that can blind us,    it is the splendor    of your darkness.       And so I listen instead and hear the language of silence, the sentence    without end.....

The spirit, the truth of silent prayer- just the moon on the road
