“conference with Gordon B. Hinckley,” New Era, Aug. 1997, 20
conference with Gordon B. Hinckley
apprehensively hushed
everyone sits.
ours is the eager silence
of expectancy
and i imbibe freely
of the Spirit
that is passed around.
then
the moment comes
and in enters the man.
a man with understanding in his eyes
power in his voice
compassion in his face
and our quiet changes
to the grateful stillness
of fulfillment.
