Sharing Silence

As I contemplate how I am going to live the last fourth of my life, I am playing with the idea of stepping back from actively seeking God and let Him seek me. As I imagine doing that, the thought has crossed my mind, what happens if I do that and He doesn't interact with me or what happens if I do that and He doesn't seek me or what happens if I do that and He seeks me in such a way that I don't know it?

And then I am reminded of what I read about Japanese paintings - part of their beauty is the amazing amount of "white space" - the amazing amount of emptiness. So if I imagined myself as a painting, I would imagine myself as a Japanese painting with an amazing amount of emptiness - the emptiness representing the silence God and I share. So if I let Him seek me, and there is silence, then the silence will be something He and I share - an amazing amount of emptiness - beauty!
