why relax in Pure Prayer?Purity is an expression within silence
 for Silence is source of sound ~ Source of all
 
even a close look at words revealswords arise from silence, not silence from words
 
like music, in which the musical notesfind a context in the gaps, or silence, between the notes
 
without the silencethere is no music
 
while, silence can be without musicshowing music depends on silence
 
the Word, then, is not a wordbut the Word before words
 the Word is silent, expressed in words
 
the Word arises from the un-expressablefrom which the Word itself is silently-in-Silence
 
so, Pure Prayer does not exclude saying or singing prayersyet, is closer to the heart's true longing, and Home
 
we could say, paradoxically, then,Pure Prayer is Silence itself praying in silence
