I have learned the great value, not just of quiet places, but having a quiet heart. I do not quiet my soul, so that I can melt into the universe, or into nothingness, or focus only on my breathing. I quiet the soul to hear truth speak. Learning to quiet the soul is an essential first step in listening to God.
“But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.” Ps. 131 Conversations Within ts 10/27/
