If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence." - Mother Teresa "Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing." - William S. Burroughs "Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully." - Norton JusterThis book is part of a four-book series on Surviving Jail or Prison: Creative Writing to Help You Grow, Making Better Choices, Questions to Think About, and Thinking About My Life. If want more, then search for "Surviving Jail or Prison" and you'll find more to help that person that you love.
