Speaking into Silence

Max Picard
"In prayer the word comes again of itself into silence. It is from the very outset, in the sphere of silence. It is taken up by God, taken away from man; it has absorbed into silence and disappears therein. Prayer can be never-ending, but the word of prayer always disappears into silence. 
"Prayer is the pouring of the word into silence."
The World of Silence, page 230
