When I started this blog I had no idea where it would go, or what I would write about. Now, 700 posts later...here I am. And I still have no idea what to write. But I do know where it should go. To God, whom blessed me with this insight, who brought me the men and women who have been my inspiration, and who gave me the time to discern and contemplate (and cultivate) these ideas.
To honor this achievement, it only seems fitting to do so by honoring the one person who has sparked a lot of my thinking, the late, great Belgian priest and author Henri Nouwen who gives us this prayer:

 | Dear God, Speak gently in my silence. When the loud outer noises of my surroundings and the loud inner noises of my fears keep pulling me away from you, help me to trust that you are still there even when I am unable to hear you. Give me ears to listen to your small, soft voice saying: “Come to me, you who are overburdened, and I will give you rest . . .for I am gentle and humble of heart.” Let that loving voice be my guide. Amen. |
