If we really want to pray, we must first learn to listen,
for in the silence of the heart, God speaks.
~ T. S. Eliot
What is my word, what is human wisdom
but a noise that reaches the outer ear?
But from that ear to the heart lies a road
that only God can travel.
Blessed are you who do not put your trust
in the noise of your own words,
even though they come wrapped in great
human wisdom.
