A silence where a voice can be heard

The prophet was waiting for thunder. He received silence — and it was there that he recognized the Presence.

We’re used to looking for God in the large: in changed circumstances, in a sudden answer, in a sign too clear to miss. But He more often speaks in a form that’s easy to overlook.

This week’s practice

Ten minutes a day with no screen and no words. Not “correct prayer” — just silence. The first days will feel awkward, and that’s normal.
