Complete Silence1

Silence
is never more complete than
when you are alone in a room.

You are the only person
on the planet or in the universe.

Circle of Faith2

The Great Spirit speaks
and humanity responds
to the voice of love.

The Great Spirit speaks
encircling the globe with love;
with His Covenant.

The Great Spirit speaks
through the Mirrors of His Manifestations
to each generation.
