in Silence
when the laughter dies...
we are left with silence...
not an empty silence... that would be easy
but a silence that is full
of unsaid words
unfelt feelings
and life as yet unlived.
Let us listen to the silence...
Let it resonate within you...
Hear the rhythm of life... Whether you wrestle or dance...
Hear the harmony
Of what is...
Embracing what was...
That sings the eternal refrain...
There is more.
- Fr. Peter Keller, 1999
