[quote]Only in the area of spirituality do we come to understand most fully other legitimate needs--------physical, emotional, and intellectual--------and gain the insight to live a life that enriches, upholds, and protects our well-being in each of these areas.  Our spiritual needs have a tendency to change as the seasons of our lives change.  Each of us has a unique spiritual journey.  In different stages of the journey, we have different needs.  And yet, there are some needs that are unchanging and necessary in all seasons of our lives------silence, solitude, and simplicity.  The way we seek to experience these habits of the soul may change, but all the same, they remain essential to our spiritual diet if we are to find lasting joy in this changing world.
 
The noise of the world is preventing us from hearing the gentle voice within that always counsels us to embrace the-best-version-of-ourselves.  We will begin to hear this voice again only when we make a habit of withdrawing from the noise of the world and immersing ourselves in silence.  We needn't spend hours in silence each day, but nothing brings priority to our days like a period of silence each day.   [Kelly, The Rhythm of Life]
 
Food for Thought:
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.  Comes to us at midnight very clean.  It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands.  It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

Do not be ruled by lust; seek freedom by following the righteous. Mere claims of piety will not earn you inner freedom. Remain patient in adversity to attain peace, for adversity is the threshold to freedom. [Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani][/quote]
