Reclaiming Quiet: Cultivating a Life of Holy Attention

by Sarah Clarkson

I am a soul seeking to take part in the issues of my generation yet deeply convicted that I am called to cultivate a life shaped by the holy wild of quiet so that God’s Word may sing amidst my days.

To be quiet can feel like stepping into the presence of death. Except for the fact that love has mapped the wilderness and waits at its heart; for the second person we meet in our quiet is God.

What could I do in that season to help that tumult? Nothing. Except to plant my garden and love my children.
