May you grow still enough to hear the small noises earth makes in preparation for the long sleep of winter, so that you yourself may grow calm and grounded deep within. ~ David Steindl-Rast
How do you grow into calm?
Preparation
… watching for the brushstrokes of God
With the Eyes of the Heart 
So like Fr David and his wisdom along with his spiritual centeredness.
I went to a small weekend workshop he gave years ago and still quote him and try to live by his guidance.
Thanks for these wonderful paintings and quotations!
