The halls at school were filled a few moments ago with a rather excited bustling as students greeted their buddies, rushed to their lockers and then on to class.

My office is quiet. With the exception of one student who asked me to help her with her combination lock, there have been no requests for my services. Yes, they will come and there will be times when the emotions that fill this room will seem overwhelming, and I pray God will be with me during those moments, breathing life into my words, my countenance, my touch.

At this moment, I pray that the Life he breathes through the Silence will walk with me throughout the day.
