Speak Up Or Keep Silent? : let the hidden treasure sing
“Timing is everything” — it applies to romance, politics, hitting a baseball, and many other areas of life, including our efforts to help others grow deeper in their love of God. Jim Manney
are you listening?
can you hear me?
are you ready to receive my words today?
dare i tell you
how i’m feeling
trust the words i use my meaning will convey?
sometimes silence
is the answer
hold the tongue of treasure in my heart
know all things
rein together
give the song of sound and silence equal part
knowing when to
advance or withdraw
trust the questions and leave things alone
from the depths of
hidden treasure
truth beauty and righteousness are grown
Words through Debra Asis, by the grace of Infinite Generativity

Jim Manney’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
