“I read it in a book, one line, and carry it around with me for days, a new map: “The literal translation for the words ‘pray always’ is ‘come to rest.’” . . . Prayer is the essence of rest, the essence of theology, the essence of idol destruction, the essence of communion. We came from His breath and we’re most our real selves when our breath is offered back to Him.6”
― Jessica N. Turner, The Fringe Hours: Making Time for You

“But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”
