“...how to dwell in the kind of quiet that opens one up to the gift and wonder of the world.”
Sarah Clarkson, Reclaiming Quiet: Cultivating a Life of Holy Attention
tags: wonder

“We need both the words, and the Word. We need the Word undergirding the words, the Word shimmering through the words. This is how I have approached the scriptures both as a believer and a poet.”
Malcolm Guite, The Word within the Words

“What if the life of prayer, the rootedness of quiet, was fueled not by discipline but by wonder?”
Sarah Clarkson, Reclaiming Quiet: Cultivating a Life of Holy Attention

“...what I mean by quiet: an openness to the presence of God at play in creation, at work in our hearts, directing our ways and drawing us into his story.”
Sarah Clarkson

“The Lectern
Some rise on eagles wings, this one is plain,
Plain English workmanship in solid oak;
Age gracefully it says, go with the grain.
You walk towards an always open book,
Open as every life to every light,
Open to shade and shadow, day and night,
The changeless witness of your changing pain.
Be still the lectern says, stand here and read
Here are your mysteries, your love and fear,
And running through them all, the slender thread
Of God's strange grace red as these ribbons, red
As your own blood when reading reads you here
And pierces joint and marrow ... So you stand
The lectern still beneath your trembling hand.”
Malcolm Guite, The Word within the Words
