Quote of the Day

In prayer the stilled voice learns to hold its peace,
to listen with the heart to silence that is joy, is
adoration. The self is shattered, all words torn apart
in this strange patterned time of contemplation that,
in time, breaks time, breaks words, breaks me, and then,
in silence, leaves me healed and mended.

~ Madeleine L'Engle

In our palms

Michael Scotts | February 2019 (Vol. XXXII, No. 2)

Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar effects in our palms.

~ Michael Scotts
