True Wisdom emerges silently, rising up from the Mystery of the unseen Source within all.
~ from WALKING WITH WISDOM by Nan C. Merrill
Prayer and meditation are as necessary for the life of the spirit as fresh air, food, and sunlight are for the body. If we think of prayer as talking to God, with or without words, our own or those of others, then we can think of meditation as listening to God — an attitude of open, silent receptiveness.
