These little meditations are short and well thought out, each paired with one of a variety of amazing art.

very short book using a series of beautiful pieces of art to create short reflections on the nature of silence and human relationship with silence.

Sister Wendy not only has an amazing ability to find tangible silence in these artworks, but she effortlessly opens our ears and eyes to it as well. Very cool nun : )
