The Goderich Signal-Star, 1985-10-30, Page 30IV :I• .8..of. Si en ` ti►ton be devastating By Robert O. Ball Tea on the front porch after dinner is a special time when the wether is right. It's even better, when there are no interrup- tions. It was just such a moment when we both heard it. It was nu. a regular or familiar sound. It was short and quick, but had its own distinctive note. Strange how just a mo- ment of sound, in the midst of many sounds that come to the ear, can register as being out of the ordinary. Somehow, as strange as it was, I caught this one right away. It was the clink of a crystal bud vase, falling over. And we both knew exactly what happened. It was one of two cats, and there was no doubt also, which one it was. She eats roses. It's a part of her uniqueness, but that's another story. The rose was rescued and the water wiped up. Sounds, like aromas, have a uniqueness and an identity that are strangely their own. By hearing, we can identify without seeing, much that goes on around us. But there is another sound that is haunting in its own way. Simon and Garfunkel, the musicians, made us keenly aware of its im- pact in their music, The Sound of Silence. And what at first seems a contradiction in terms, turns out to be a reality that most of us, at one time or another, have experienc- ed. MINISTER'S STUDY • The obvious, of course, is the silence of a loved one, whose voice and activities were so regular within home and community circles, and now are no longer heard. The less obvious are the silences that are `heard' when relationships between friends and spouses come to a place, when there seems to be nothing more than can be said. The sound of silence then can be devastating. But there is another sound of silence that comes from within. It is the experience of the worshipper, that places oneself in the en- vironment where, with a readiness, God speaks a word of comfort, hope, and love, that cannot be expressed in words by any other. And with that knowledge, that in the emptiness and the quiet, there is God, there is also an awareness that even those voices which are not `heard' anymore from those whose presence blessed our every day liv- ing, there remains a sense of their love and influence, for which we can give thanks. The knowledge of that presence in absence, that sound in the silence, begins with an appreciation of the eternal presence of God, through worship, through hearing the still small voice.
