"The
key word of the spiritual discipline I follow is 'listening.' This
means a special kind of listening, a listening with one's heart. The
Bible calls this responsive listening 'living by the Word of God,' and
that means far more than merely doing God's will. It means being
nourished by God's word as food and drink. God's word in every person,
every thing, every event. This is a daily task, a moment by moment
discipline. Silence creates space around things, persons and events.
Silence singles them out and allows us gratefully to consider them one
by one in their uniqueness."
