Stillness is a gift from God.

Like a cat, whose instincts are in perfect harmony with the outside world, we can practice stillness and bring into focus the detailed workings of nature and the universe.

But, adding to that, we can also communicate with the deeper levels of our being in a manner that will bring about insight.

In prayer we do just that. We humble ourselves in the presence of God and let His wisdom penetrate mind, body and soul. If one can recognize His voice in silence, he will also recognize His voice amidst the hustle.
