I am reading the most interesting, intriguing book and came across this passage that is so interesting, calming. The book is called 'Abraham' by Bruce Feiler and it's so incredible...
"Most of us are not comfortable with silence. We come into the house, click on the stereo, wake up to the TV, fall asleep to the TV, we're always bombarded with music and words. Jesus, Abraham, they went out in to the desert. They got away from all the distractions. In the end, the ultimate decision has to be ours, the only way we will find peace, the only way we'll find peace with God-- is in silence. The message of Abraham is to be alone, to be quiet, and to listen. If you never hear the Call in the first place you'll never know which way to go."
