Catching an appetite for spiritual practice
Art credit: Silence by Odilon Redon, in the public domain
The world can be a noisy place. From the sounds of traffic in the streets, neighbors through apartment walls, Zoom classrooms, and streaming videos to the internal voices that populate our heads with advice and our hearts with doubt, noise is a part of everyday life. Learning to tame both internal and external noise is a skill that children can learn from a young age and use the rest of their lives.

Silence is God's first language; everything else is a poor translation. In order to hear that language, we must learn to be still and to rest in God. — Thomas Keating quoted in The Sun & Moon Over Assisi by Gerard Thomas Straub
Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere — in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
— Mother Teresa quoted in No Greater Love edited by Becky Benenate and Joseph Durepos
