My Silence, God's Silence
Lent.
Silence.
Listening.
This lent, I have noticed barrenness in my
life. Although my days are filled with the busy-ness of writing, studying,
practicing, cooking, cleaning, facebooking, and the many other thousands of
activities that fill time, by scheduling more time for prayer, I’ve noticed a
deep and all-pervading silence and emptiness.
Perhaps a lot of the busy-ness with which I
cover my days is my way of running away from this lonesome silence? All the
activities that fill my life give me a sense of importance and achievement. I
grasp at this feeling, because it masks the reality of my smallness and
insignificance in the eyes of the world. I am anxious for this feeling, because
I fear my identity without it.
