You think that your silence on certain topics, perhaps in the face of injustice, or unkindness, or mean-spiritedness, causes others to reserve judgement of you. far otherwise; your silence utters very loud: you have no oracle to speak, no wisdom to offer, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them. doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? we would be well to do likewise.

You Think That Your Silence On Certain

Ralph Waldo Emerson
You think that your silence on certain topics, perhaps in the face of injustice, or unkindness, or mean-spiritedness, causes others to reserve judgement of you. far otherwise; your silence utters very loud: you have no oracle to speak, no wisdom to offer, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them. doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? we would be well to do likewise.

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

God utters me like a word containing a partial thought of him. a word will never be able to comprehend the voice that utters it. but if i am true to the concept that god utters in me, if i am true to the thought of him that i was meant to embody, i shall be full of his actuality and find him everywhere in myself, and find myself nowhere.

When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? if the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, threatening the welkin with his big-swoln face? and wilt thou have a reason for this coil? i am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow! she is the weeping welkin, i the earth: then must my sea be moved with her sighs; then must my earth with her continual tears become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd: for why my bowels cannot hide her woes, but like a drunkard must i vomit them. then give me leave, for losers will have leave to ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.
Christian Spiritual Voice
Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.

The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the redeemer to change men’s lives. as he said to the dead lazarus, so he says to you and me: “come forth.” come forth from the despair of doubt. come forth from the sorrow of sin. come forth from the death of disbelief. come forth to a newness of life. come forth.
