Contemplation is the promise of simplicity. It is a gift of poverty inviting open waiting, receptive trust, attention, and watchful presence. It is a simple Being-With. It is attentive presence.
Conversation is the promise of integrity.
It is a chaste and complete intention to listen and speak, lovingly and respectfully, with each and all made present to us. It is a wholeness of listening and speaking. It is root silence. Correspondence is the promise of faithful engagement. It is responsible attention and intention offered obediently to the Source of all Being, to the Human Family, to Nature.
