Being
“What is important first and foremost is to be:
what people need of us is not busyness, but our
unhurried attention, and insight and perception…
To see what others miss: to see with clear eyes
the disorder and confusion of the world, but also
to discern and interpret God’s hidden presence
within it as its continuous creator, redeemer and
reconciler; saying, as an artist does, “Come and
see what it looks like where I stand”.
But we shall not have or maintain that vision
unless we develop a daily, silent attentiveness to
God and the world.
There should be in the soul, halls of space
avenues of leisure and porticoes of silence
where God walks.”
Michale Mayne - formerly Dean of Westminster.
