In Search Of Silence

Dear One,

My mind wanders to far away places in search of answers. A thousand voices call upon me to hear their woes. Not one voice offer me comfort. It's a whirlwind of confusing emotions. It creates a vortex of desires to pull me down to deepest melancholy. Voices from the past try to dominate my present. Whispers from the future try to caution me of the road ahead. The present is rapidly turning itself into the past and I look on bewildered. What am I to do? Where am I to look? Who am I to ask for help?

In the commotion a gentle voice whispers to me, "Look within and you shall find what you seek." I try to find the face behind the voice, but in vain. I then ask "Who are you?" The gentle voice replies, "I am you."

I ponder wildly and ask again, "Who are you?"

The voice responds no more.

In silence I search for the voice. In silence I search for the face behind the voice. In silence I found God.
