Poetry emotion: Angela Greenwood is transported
‘The practice could take us into a place of deep inner peace.’
In my meditation today, Jim Pym’s poem ‘The Deep Silence’ came into my mind, particularly in relation to what I had felt about ‘being Peace in the midst of horror’ (29 April). Jim’s poem transports me to a deeper place, and I have used it often in our Experiment with Light group. I was first introduced to it by Alan Holmes at an Experiment with Light conference, when after a short conversation he rushed to his room to get a copy of Jim’s booklet, which he was enthusiastic to share. Along with it was a cassette recording of the poem, read with gaps, for use in meditation.
