The process of transforming fear isn't pretending that we have no fear, but embracing fear as a tool for learning and growth.
~ Kay Gilley in THE ALCHEMY OF FEAR
Our culture is losing the art of silence, and with it the intrinsic human understanding and capacity for prayer. Silent dwellers, by creating spacious times of physical silence in their lives, slowly recover the human capacity to be with themselves in a caring gentle way. For, it is in silence and solitude that one learns – or regains – the human quality of being in God's presence always.
