Good Morning,
I love reading my " Spiritual" books and sometimes the smallest ones come up with lines that really hit home with me.
Here's a couple quotes from-- Meditations (On the Monk Who Dwells in Daily Life) by Thomas Moore:
"Withdrawal from the world is something we can, and should, do every day. I especially enjoy such ordinary retreats from the active life as shaving, showering, reading, doing the dishes, walking, listening to the radio, driving a car. All of these activities can turn one's attention inward toward contemplation.
Mundane withdrawal from the busyness of an active life can create a spirituality-without-walls.
Anything is material for retreat--- cleaning out a closet, giving away some books, taking a walk around the block, clearing your desk, TURNING OFF THE TELEVISION SET, saying no to an invitation to anything.
At the sight of nothing, THE SOUL REJOICES!
Peace,
