in Mary Chapel
plants were sitting at the feet of Mary who's holding Jesus tenderly
they make no sounds
they make no movements
but
they are growing
stretching
blossoming
in their own quiet way
though nothing seems to be happening
they are alive and well
that's how silence is
though nothing seems to be happening
the Spirit is at work
healing,
enlivening,
transforming...
so do not underestimate silence
because in silence
there's growth
