words are like a boat on a lake

Words are like a boat on a lake. They serve a useful and an incredible purpose, journeying us from here to (t)here. We need them. How else would you be reading or getting this? And metaphors, in particular, by their very definition, are transporters, carriers - taking us beyond or across. When we've reached the other side of the lake, however, the boat needs to be set aside and the journey undertaken on foot. In prayer, silence is that foot to take us further.
