by Mark Weinrich

Stillness
is often viewed
as a void of
nothingness,
a place that must
be filled
with distraction
upon distraction.

Yet out of nothing
God crafted
this astonishing realm.
The very thing
we find oppressive
is the channel
God uses
to express 
His tenderness.
The whisper
that changes every 
circumstance, if
we are not
afraid to listen.
