“As my prayers became more attentive and inward
I had less and less to say. I finally became completely silent.
I started to listen—which is even further removed from speaking. I first thought that prayer entailed speaking.
I
then learnt that prayer is hearing, not merely being silent. That is
how it is. To pray does not mean to listen to oneself speaking. Prayer
involves becoing silent, and being silent,
and waiting until God is heard.”
~Soren Kierkegaard
