"Leave me here freely all alone In cell where never sunlight shone should no one ever speak to me. This golden silence makes me free"
(part of a poem written by a prisoner at Dachau concentration camp)
If we were stripped down of all our distractions, all of our dramas would we be able to better know this golden silence? It is humbling to me to read these words. These words also speak of a God who does not leave us- especially in the darkest of places.
