A Loud Silence

He told me to be really quiet, so I sat there last night in complete and utter silence. It was just me and the four walls of my room. The only thing audible was my breath. The time was far from silent though. So much tumbling through my mind, so much to cry out to Him about, so many tears, so much joy. And in the end all I heard was " Be more Quiet and wait, wait for My voice." I don't think I can take another extended period of "quiet time". How could 3 hours of silence have been so loud?
