I have come to believe
that the true mystics are not those who contemplate holiness in isolation,
reaching godlike illumination in serene silence, but those who manage to find
God in a life filled with noise, the demands of other people and relentless
daily duties that can consume the self…. If they are wise, they treasure the
rare moments of solitude and silence that come their way, and use them not to
escape, to distract themselves with television and the like. Instead, they
listen for a sign of God’s presence and they open their hearts toward prayer.
