pull anchor
and journey
to that place
where all land
cries yes
and all water
envelops
limitless
possibility.
~ from ON FRIENDSHIP AND DREAMING by Mary Anne Hershey
Faith and hope lead us to want to have what we believe in and hope for. The more we want it, the more we learn to love it and want to concentrate on it. Our turning to God is made easier if we take practical steps, which include turning away from other things which attract and distract us and going apart in solitude, being still so that we can listen to God.
