The idea behind this card — Silence

If you can't pray, or don't, silence has always counted as a language. Some traditions say it's the fluent one.

FEEL — The honest heart before the mystery — lament, doubt, awe, mercy

The practice

sit somewhere quiet for two minutes with no assignment — no words, no phone, no trying. If words come, fine. If none come, that was the practice. Showing up is the whole of it.

Where this idea comes from

  • Apophatic and contemplative silence traditions; Quaker silent worship
