I believe this poem succinctly and beautifully describes both the paradox of the faith journey, and the freedom that meditation offers us. In this simplicity, we expand. When are in silence together, we begin to experience the limitless being in Christ that is our reality and our destiny. This is the gift that we are offered. Let us accept it.
When we are weak, we are
strong. When our eyes close
on the world, then somewhere
within us the bush
burn. When we are poor
and aware of the inadequacy
of our table, it is to that
uninvited the guest comes.
- R.S. Thomas
