Thought for the Week: In Meeting

David Lockyer reflects on the peace of Meeting for Worship

by David Lockyer 13th January 2012

A moment of quiet. A collection of my thoughts. A ragbag stuffed with the past: overfull sometimes, memories spilling out of it and spitting venom at me. Then the silence of the moment begins to absorb them all like old-fashioned blotting paper. There is the sense of others settling and finding their own inner peace, of their quietening as they sit, almost radiating their inner calm.
