Stillness

With our feet and our bodies, we choose Christ.

With our lives and our wisdom,
we choose a creation made in the image of God.

With our humility and our obedience,
we choose not to judge one another.

With our stillness and our silence,
we listen for the Voice that speaks
every particle of creation into being.¹
