When, living in the present in profound attentiveness, we experience "timeless moments" of radical present and Presence, we come very near to God.
~ from TO EVERYTHING A SEASON by Bonnie Thurston
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
