A quote by T.S. Eliot
So I invite you to sit still, sit straight, fold your hands, bow, and repeat after me. Be still and know I am God. Be still and know I am. Be still and know. Be still, be.
John of the Cross came to define deep prayer along similar lines. “Preserve a loving attentiveness to God with no desire to feel or understand any particular thing concerning God.”
Martin Laird • Into the Silent Land: A Guide to the Christian Practice of Contemplation
“Perhaps we should try keeping our eyes open while we pray, and look for the meaning hidden in the things right in front of us.”
