Have been watching another series on YouTube by Fr Christopher Jamison----this one called The Big Silence. I'm almost done, having finished about 10 of the 12 installments. They're all about 15 minutes long, so it's easy to watch a bit here and there.
Wonderful, and such a good follow-up after watching The Monastery.
The series on silence spends time on how our lives are so noisy and full of busyness. The monks stress that the main way to God is through silence....deliberate quietness. Sometimes it's only then that you can hear that still, quiet voice. I'm amazed at the fierce way we protect our poor excuses for staying active all the time---and seeing the participants struggle with that sort of drives it home.
Sure does make a person think.
