When we have cleared a space for the presence of Silence to enter into whatever we are doing, we feel the presence of grace in our lives. When we have gotten to the point of feeling the desire of Silence and can call to heart that feeling when we are about to begin our day and our work, we feel graced. . . .

Grace does not free us from our weaknesses and our suffering, but it does free us from the feeling that these difficulties make life complex.

Robert Sardello, Silence
