SILENCE

Find a place that is silent -
a corner room or a basement chair.
Then, as they say in church,
make sure all electronic devices
are turned off. Next take 10 minutes -
exactly 10 minutes -  of silence. 
Be silent.  Be still. Be quiet. 
At first devices in your mind will be talking. Acknowledge each voice. 
Then turn them off - one by one. 
Notice them as they disappear. 
Next .... Listen .... Listen ....
Then notice God will be there - 
right there, right now, now, now....
The Silent God is with you.
