Words can't explain
what words can't explain.
Words can't contain
an experience that lies beyond words.
To rest in God's Presence,
what is that like?
It's like...
well, um...
like floating in a vast, warm sea...
no, more like rising slowly into night air...
or holding a steady, celestial hand while soaring past galaxies...
Oh, heck--
I don't know--
experience it yourself,
then tell me.
I just know
it wasn't what they taught me in seminary,
which was, as I recall,
awash in words
and woefully short
on silence.
