Today I read in the writings of Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel:
To pray is to know how to stand still
and to dwell upon a word ...
It got me thinking ... In Hebrew there are silent letters, such as aleph ... I wonder what the world would be like if we spent more time dwelling upon words that had within them silent letters like aleph ...
With silence comes the calming of the soul ... and with the calming of the soul comes tranquility ...
May you have and utter prayers filled with aleph ... and the peace that may bring ...
