Creating silence

To hear the voice of God, we need to be still and to create an interior silence. I recently bought a second hand book by Sister Wendy Beckett as I love her books and had not seen this little one before. It is titled Meditations on Silence. I will not attempt to copy the pictures she is meditating on but will copy some of the really inspiring things she says about silence. Here is just one inspired by Rembrandt's "Woman with a Pink":
"The capacity for silence- a deep, creative awareness of one's inner truth- is what distinguishes us as human."
