and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

in the depths of our souls.”

you are deeply loved.”

It simply grows—
slowly, inwardly,
in the rhythm of grace.”

that someone else pulls.
But when you find that strength,
you will endure with grace.”

how they move in silence…
We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

Scripture
Mark 4:27 (NRSVUE)
Night and day, while the farmer sleeps and rises,
the seed sprouts and grows—he does not know how.
RefrainEven now, God is growing something in me.
QuoteRainer Maria Rilke
“Everything is gestation and then bringing forth.
To let each impression and each seed of a feeling
come to completion entirely in itself,
in the dark,
in the unsayable,
the unconscious, beyond the reach of one’s own understanding,
and with deep humility and patience to wait
for the hour when a new clarity is born:
this alone is living the artist’s life—
in understanding as in creating.”
