Found in the Quietness

Our comfort, our purpose
our calling in this life
found in the quietness
in the stillness
in the presence of God

Setting time apart
in our room, on the mountain
sitting with our maker
listening in the silence
for a word from our God

As we observe the season of Lent, we receive

remember our obligations to one another.”
