The Practice of Stillness

Scripture  

Psalm 131 (NRSV)  

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up,  

my eyes are not raised too high;  

I do not occupy myself with things  

too great and too marvelous for me.  

But I have calmed and quieted my soul,  

like a weaned child with its mother;  

my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.  

O Israel, hope in the Lord  

from this time on and forevermore.

Refrain  

In stillness, I remember who I am.

Quote

Thomas R. Kelly, from *A Testament of Devotion*  

“Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul,  

a holy place, a Divine Center,  

a speaking Voice,  

to which we may continuously return.  

Eternity is at our hearts,  

pressing upon our time-worn lives,  

warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny,  

calling us home unto Itself.”
