Nouwen Meditation: Silence and Speaking Belong Together

“Community is first of all a quality of the heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another.”

 - Henri Nouwen, Bread for the Journey

Silence and Speaking Belong Together
To know ourselves truly and acknowledge fully our own unique journey, we need to be known and acknowledged by others for who we are. We cannot live a spiritual life in secrecy. We cannot find our way to true freedom in isolation. Silence without speaking is as dangerous as solitude without community. They belong together.
"We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you."

2 CORINTHIANS 6:11 (NIV)
