Summary

The quote suggests that when the speaker presents their questions to God, they do not receive a direct answer. Instead, they experience a unique type of response - a silent and compassionate gaze.

The 'No answer' is portrayed as a gesture of peace, gently reassuring the speaker that there is more to understand and encouraging them to have patience and trust in God's wisdom.
