A QUAKER MEETING FOR WORSHIP BY SUZANNE HAYES
Silence, our essence
Gathered together
Open to the spirit
Listening for that still small voice
That will answer to our condition
An oasis of quiet
Granting respite from a busy world
We open our hearts
Banish thoughts that overwhelm us
Hushed and subdued they'll no longer hold sway
The silence enfolds us
Restores and recharges our inner self
And lightens our way
