Godly whispering

Russian icon of prophet Elijah

It's a very short little quotation that I bring you today. But it is one that is very evocative. Let us allow it to teach us, to encourage us:

Blessed are the ears that pick up the Godly whispering.


— Thomas a Kempis in The Imitation of Christ

    So very true, Monk-in-Training!

    That's one of the big points about learning to meditate.

    Good to hear from you, old friend!

    Yes, I really like that icon myself, Cathy. Undoubtedly Elijah is hearing the "still small voice".
