We are on a journey through the inward spaces of the heart

Kallistos Ware | July/August 2007 (Vol. XX, No. 7)

I am not sitting, I am on a journey. Spiritually we are always on the move. We are on a journey through the inward spaces of the heart, a journey not measured by the hours of our watch or the days of the calendar, for it is a journey out of time into eternity.

Learning to be alone in solitude

Kallistos Ware | January 2005 (Vol. XVIII, No. 1)

A person must learn to be alone in solitude, to listen in one's heart to the wordless speech of the Spirit, and to discover the truth bout oneself and God. Then their word to others will be a word of power, because it is a word of silence.

Silence is not merely negative

Kallistos Ware | March 1998 (Vol. XI, No. 3)

Silence is not merely negative -- a pause between words, a temporary cessation of speech -- but properly understood, it is highly positive: an attitude of attentive alertness, of vigilance, and above all, of listening.
