Yesterday I shared about Henri Nouwen’s life. Just a short quote today from The Way of the Heart, which I mentioned yesterday, was extremely helpful to me. Solitude and silence we don’t talk about much. He started me on a journey to understanding what all that meant.
SOLITUDE - "In solitude we become compassionate people, deeply aware of our solidarity in brokenness with all of humanity and ready to reach out to anyone in need . . ."
SILENCE - "Silence first makes us pilgrims. Secondly, silence guards the fire within. Thirdly, silence teaches us how to speak . . ."
PRAYER - "Prayer, when we are faithful to it and practice it at regular times, slowly leads us to an experience of rest and opens us to God's active presence . . ."
What do you think?
