Meditations on God

In the spiritual life, there is a lot of waiting.

When life feels hurried, you will be called to slow down.

When the world gets louder, you will be asked to be quiet and listen.

There is a lot less to do than you think.

There is a lot less to think than you think.

The truth is not obtrusive, demanding, or forceful.

Be quiet, patient, and remain open, and, as the dust and debris of the world and your mind settles down around you, what you will be left with is the truth eternal.
