Silence is Okay sometimes

"I'd simply sit with him…there was something peaceful and honest about my lack of expectation….we would spend hours together, most of the time saying nothing at all, and it was this quiet, unassuming way that we finally became friends."(Nicholas Sparks)-  these thoughts describe the relationship between a father and son. the son had arrived at the understanding that he and his father did not have to talk to meaningfully be together. We tend to be uncomfortable with silence. Silence sets the stage for awareness, feeling the presence, content with being present to each other. In silence become aware of Holy Presence………God is always present, even in silence…..
