“God Speaks I am, you anxious one. Don’t you sense me, ready to break into being at your touch? My murmurings surround you like shadowy wings. Can’t you see me standing before you cloaked in stillness? Hasn’t my longing ripened in you from the beginning as fruit ripens on a branch? I am the dream you are dreaming. When you want to awaken, I am waiting. I grow strong in the beauty you behold. And with the silence of stars I enfold your cities made by time. The Book of Hours I, 19”
