a sleepy breath 
a bird's invite
a kitten's purr 
a beating heart:
Silence between
silence heard



*Thoughts of Jean Sulivan:

-The path towards faith is also a matter of unlearning things.  Spiritual sanity resides in a  youthfulness which spontaneously rejects everything that is static.  Almighty God, King, Lord,  Prosecutor, Judge, Spouse, Lover of the soul, Father - get rid of all those words, and thousands of  others, until nothing is left.  Nothing, that's our name for God, condemned not to intervene, for fear  of making us all immature.  That means we shouldn't be afraid to use the most everyday words. Only  you know what you've put in them - hidden love, deep laughter.

-Remember, God speaks through the lips that happen to be there - those of the unbeliever as well as  those of the saint and through the silence of those who no longer have anything to say.

-Don't expect manna every morning, comrades.
