StopRestDelightContemplate

Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.

John 21:18

If you love truth, be a lover of silence…it brings you a fruit that tongues cannot describe…In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent. But then there is born something that draws us to silence. ..After a while a certain sweetness is born in the heart of this exercise and the body is drawn almost by force to remain in silence.

Isaac of Nineveh
