Let us accept the invitation, ever-open,
from the Stillness,
taste its exquisite sweetness,
and heed its silent instruction.

Grow Still And Silent

In his exploration of the movement through the dark night of the soul to union with God, St. John of the Cross used the imagery of a house grown still and silent to describe the soul so centered in God by prayer that it is free to leave self behind and become absorded in the presence of the promised Prince of Peace.
From this inward stillness flows the outward peace for which the world longs.
