“What do we do in our solitude? The first answer is nothing. Just be present to the one who wants your attention and listen. It is precisely in this useless presence to God that we can gradually die to our illusions of power and control and give ear to the voice of love hidden in the center of our being. But doing nothing, being useless is not as passive as it sounds. In fact it requires effort and great attentiveness. It calls us to an active listening in which we make ourselves available to God's healing presence and can be made new.”
—Henri Nouwen, The Road to
Peace
