When I was a teenager, someone told me about this poem written by a Jewish prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust. BarlowGirl based one of their songs on the poem and you can read the lyrics here.
It has always stayed with me because I thought it was so powerful. I, of course, cannot even imagine being in a concentration camp, but the fact that someone who was could find the strength to have hope is such an encouraging perspective!
The sun may not be shining, but I know it is there.
I will always believe in love, no matter what I am feeling.
Love is the answer, it is the whole point.
Blessings!
That last line is very interesting and rings true for me.
"I believe in God even when he is silent."
Maybe the silence IS God?
Maybe our thoughts and internal dialogue are just distorting and covering up that silence?
I find it very interesting that most people immediately start feeling uncomfortable in a very silent environment; they immediately start doing something to break the silence; turn on the radio, turn on the tv, open up the phone.
This is really deep!
You're right, though, people get nervous in the silence.
A lovely sentiment, as true today as when it was written.
Nice lines! I like the poetry so much it contains deep meaning and good feeling.
It is very meaningful!
