Lot's going on as I seem to be continually learning to pray. However, today I would like to link to another article. I think originally found this on the Contemplative Monk Facebook page which is full of daily gems.
See: Silence: The Prayer of Rest
Quote: Here’s the deal. Our soul, left to itself, will create vast networks of circular reasoning, closed systems of thought that, like a man made diamond appears real but isn’t the real deal. Why? Our soul, because it is broken, and full of the knowledge of good and evil, will always give you more than you asked for, more systems, more disciplines, more ways to please God, more and more hoops to jump through.
Peace
