(English)
The voice of God is silence. Listening attentively to it, the murmurs of the soul are heard. Then, the body reaches in all directions. Thus, slowly, the body melts and we become one with life. The mystery of life....and, thanks to silence, the contemplation of the inmense mystery is before the eyes.
(Spanish)
La voz de Dios es el silencio. Al escucharlo cuidadosamente, los murmullos del alma son escuchados. En seguida, el cuerpo brota en direcciones diferentes. Por tanto, el cuerpo se derrite y nosotros llegamos a compenetrarnos con la vida. El misterio de la vida....y, gracias al silencio, la contemplacion del inmenso misterio esta enfrente de los ojos.
Reading through https://senzadocumenti.com earlier, I kept thinking about how much of inner life is undocumented too—the quiet shifts that never make it into words. The part about the body softening once the mind stops interrupting is what I’ll carry; even ten minutes without noise usually makes it easier to hear what I’m actually feeling. Maybe contemplation isn’t escaping life so much as being present to it without needing to name everything first.
