This journey begins deeply within the heart, first thing in the morning, as you settle in to the new day that is beginning. Be there now, for just a moment, quietly, softly, listening. Do you hear that still, small voice? Within your inmost being there is a presence, a voice perhaps, the sound of silent wisdom. This book came from that silence. It is a collection of prayers, poems, and prose that arose from that deep and penetrating stillness. It began with a single verse from the Bible, and each day a different verse gave way to a thought, a sentence, and another that eventually became a prayer or poem. That silent voice within which is the creator of all that is beautiful and unique was the quiet force behind these daily prayers.
