Good morning to a beautiful young lady, The title of this lovely shot reminds me of a statement by the 14th century German mystic, Meister Eckhart : " NOTHING IS MORE LIKE GOD THAN SILENCE." Many years of personal experiences have taught me that he was right. In total silence and mediation, I have experienced a transcendent, ineffable reality that words can never describe. In those moments, I have a sense of belonging that is the most incredible home-coming I have ever experienced. That's why centuries ago Saint Augustine wrote, "OH LORD, THOU HAST MADE US FOR THYSELF. OUR HEARTS WILL NOT REST UNTIL THEY REST IN THEE."
