A World Without Birdsong [SSL 283]

Discovering the impossible sadness of silent forests and noisy wars

I’ve been thinking about the vanishing songbirds and I found a poet, Nicole Brown. Today, I reflect on what’s going on.

Silence and peace

Timely short prayer write some 50 something years ago, or more.

I’m gathering up the energies to write something in long form. Several ideas brewing but not sure of my next choice. For now, the silence.

Prayer of Thomas Merton

I beg you to keep me in this silence so that I may learn from it
the word of your peace
and the word of your mercy
and the word of your gentleness to the world:
and that through me perhaps your word of peace
may make itself heard
where it has not been possible for anyone to hear it for a long time.
