Reflection

Quietude

It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves.

— Teresa of Avila

Why this matters:

The ‘spiritual life’ is not a journey to another location, but a journey into the depths of our own being. Quietude is the passport that allows us to cross the border from the superficial self into the vast landscape of the soul.
