...LEARNING TO REST...

"We indeed have become very preoccupied people, afraid of unnameable emptiness and silent solitude. In fact, our preoccupations prevent our having new experiences and keep us hanging on to the familiar ways. Preoccupations are our fearful ways of keeping things the same, and it often seems that we prefer a bad certainty to a good uncertainty. Our preoccupations help us to maintain the personal world we have created over the years and block the way to revolutionary change. Our fears, uncertainties and hostilities make us fill our inner world with ideas, opinions, judgements and values to which we cling as to a precious property. Instead of facing the challenge of new worlds opening themselves for us, and struggling in the open field, we hide behinde the walls of our concerns holding on to the familiar life items we have collected inthe past"

Nice to see that U still update your blog:)

Psalm 34, (18+ 22)
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
