The Practice of Stillness

Scripture  Psalm 131 (NRSV)  O Lord, my heart is not lifted up,  my eyes are not raised too high;  I do not occupy myself with things  too great and too marvelous for me.  But I have calmed and quieted my soul,  like a weaned child with its mother;  my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.  O Israel, hope in the Lord  from this time on and forevermore.Refrain  In stillness, I remember who I am.QuoteThomas R. Kelly, from *A Testament of Devotion*  “Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul,  a holy place, a Divine Center,  a speaking Voice,  to which we may continuously return.  Eternity is at our hearts,  pressing upon our time-worn lives,  warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny,  calling us home unto Itself.” Hosted on Acast.
