I talk to God but the sky is empty.

There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.

For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did.

All phenomena are empty.

I'm a Jehovah's Witness.

Standing as a witness in all things means being kind in all things, being the first to say hello, being the first to smile, being the first to make the stranger feel a part of things, being helpful, thinking of others' feelings, being inclusive.

I was not inside the bank. But I am still not the only witness.

I'm becoming more squeamish. I didn't use to be - nine years of 'Silent Witness' prepared me for most things one will have the misfortune to see in life. Before, I'd be wading up to my neck in gore, but now I tend to look away.

A witness, in the sense that I am using the word, is a man whose life and faith are so completely one that when the challenge comes to step out and testify for his faith, he does so, disregarding all risks, accepting all consequences.
