And
white uniforms
were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season until their fellow servants also
should
be fulfilled.
Revelation
6.11
WE
MUST know to live on silence", he said. "The answer is not at the
Abbey of Scourmont: the point isn'tnot to say a word, but not to
live on words. You don't enter silence by not speaking, but by not
throwing your faith to the road, by not letting your faith argue with
urchins. Gather your faith, lock your faith inside your
innermost unreachable room. Christ adds: and put your faith to a silent
service of the urchins whenever they come to you. Those of us that can't do
this, we let our faith walk noiselessly inside us to melt the shadow
of things and impressions, letting us see the things in their true
dimensions. To the road we throw only our garrulous views, talking about
many things which might have no effect upon us at all". ...
He picked up a stone and threw it
at the sea, like a
child.
- "You should have felt before you
came to me,
that there are too many people, who spent all their life without ever being
able to reach the doorway of their home. Others, have not even suspected its
existence. And others, have passed heedlessly even by the room in which they
spent all their being. Metaphor is the only reality that belongs to you,
your universe, that waits for you to create it in order for it to resound
your glory. Whether you name it a creator's word, or slime, or the spirit which
you blow upon slime, you must have known, at any rate, that creation
is always and only the metaphor of the creator, the image of the creator
in the existent." ...
