Life can leave us feeling very distracted and detached.  Perhaps this is why many people seek things that make them "feel good," wrongly believing those things actually provide a sense of meaning and purpose.  In truth, they are simply more distractions.  When we discover real silence, we can realize that the stirrings and impulses in our hearts desiring connection, meaning, and purpose are really God desperately trying to pull us toward His Divine Heart.  Once we submit to God's pull, we are led to the beauty of God's presence.  This holy presence carries us to the heights of mountains, the vastness of ocean depths, the beginning of things and their end, and the majesty of universal wonder.  We meet the Father.  Then, gently carried to the tenderness of compassion, love, mercy, and forgiveness we touch the innocence and vulnerability of life.  We see the poor and those who are broken.  We meet the Son.  Finally, we are directed toward the seasons that change, the ebb and flow of life, the inspirations that surprise, and the wonder, awe, and joy of life.  We embrace the Holy Spirit.
