frenzy and lightning

"You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: She wanted storms." ~Anna Akhmatova

In silence we face and admit the gap between the depth of our being, which we consistently ignore, and the surface which is untrue to our own reality. We recognize the need to be at home with ourselves in order that we may go out to meet others, not just with a mask of affability, but with real commitment and authentic love. That is the reason for choosing silence.
Thomas Merton, Love & Living, Naomi Burton Stone and Br. Patrick Hart, Editors. New York: Harcourt. 1979, p. 41. (via silencesounds)
