Psalm 23:3
Have you ever experienced a few moments of interior silence? How would you describe it? Is there not a sense of a very deep, all-pervading peace, a sense of well being, and a delicate joy, all at once? Why is it such a difficult state to maintain or return to? It seems easier to forget about the whole experience than to be plagued by the pain of lingering outside a door that seems to be locked from the inside. Yet, in spite of this lingering pain, the repeated experience of interior silence is a need that everyone has in order to be fully human.
Our capacity for the transcendent is precisely what distinguishes us most from the rest of visible creation. It is what makes us most human.
Psalm 23: 1-3

He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul...
