“And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening.” Gen.24
A wise father taught his son to sit alone and quiet in a room everyday for at least thirty minutes and spend the time thinking. The son, years later, attributed every notable accomplishment in his life to those moments of quiet thought and not only continued the practice but commended it to others.
For the most part, it is easier to settle for the quaint quotes of others instead of nurturing a contemplative life of our own.

One who is constantly on the go will never develop the roots of a mature inner life. 6/1/2011 Conversations Within ts (Gunterhill, AL)
Just me trying to be honest with God.
