Listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world. —Jack Kerouac

 

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that he is so.

—Plotinus



. . .

You need not go to heaven to see God; nor need you speak loud, as if God were far away; nor need you cry for wings like a dove to fly to Him. 

Only be in silence, and you will come upon God within yourself.


—Saint Teresa of Avila
