Exalt, O morbid seed of Adam’s race,Enslaved by sin’s pervasive, damning plight,Within thy soul, concupiscence takes flight,And in thy veins, corruption finds its place.But hark!

Ride the waves of my doubtsand sift my thoughts from unbelief;for I am drunk, from a gulf of self,neglecting the presence of I AM. The possibilities of little things–tangible as my biggest dreams,so I yearn to increase.Combust my heart in the furnaceof your words unfailing,words that can never return void.

In a world saturated with noise, the golden virtue of silence is constantly violated. The dictatorship of noise has created an impression that has led many to see it (i.e., noise) as a virtue and silence as a vice. This is rather unfortunate.
