Behind is light, in front is dark

“Faith enlightens the path behind us, while in the present, looking towards the future, the path appears dark. …this is where trusting in the Lord becomes necessary.”                                                                                                           ~Richard Rohr

Standing in the heart--in the presence

“ Prayer is standing in the presence of God with the mind in the heart; that is, at that point of our being where there are no divisions or distinctions and where we are totally one. There God’s Spirit dwells and there the great encounter takes place. There heart speaks to heart, because there we stand before the face of the Lord, all-seeing, within us.”                                                              - Theophan the Recluse The Great Encounter! That is what I truly aspire to. Teach me O Source of Life, how to encounter you, as a learner and listener, regularly, daily.
