We need to sit still, let our emptiness remain empty, and wait patiently. If we fill the foreground with busy questions, reasons or proposed actions, we will miss the God who is the silent, yet ever present horizon of the world.
"Love isn't something you want to DO with someone."
"I'm not at all sure I know what love is," I said meaning it.
