Following up from yesterday's word...

Dallas Willard says,
“In solitude we confront our own soul with its obscure forces and conflicts that escape our attention when we are interacting with others."
On the lighter side, when hearing a sermon it is okay to focus on what is being said and who says it. Below is a little poem (not mine) that speaks to one who has added solitude and silence to his (or her) life:
The color of my pastor's eyes, 
In truth I can't define;
For when he prays he closes his,
When he preaches I close mine!
