Peace and quiet are elusive. In my mind the two are linked in a way that there cannot be peace without quiet and there cannot be quiet without peace. If one is absent or only partially present, neither is fully realized.
An acquaintance once mentioned she gets up at night to pray because it is quiet. I’ve thought about that many times since because I think that may be the only time these two qualities are present in my life! However, the thought of giving up any of the little sleep I manage to get would be a hard trade for me. I suppose I should just try it.
I tend to believe that less sleep will make the activity in my days even harder to manage with a cheerful spirit, but the days without much prayer (when one yearns for it) are equally hard.
There’s a New Years resolution somewhere in all this rambling, I’m just not sure what it will be, yet.
In the shower is a good time as well. Til someone needs something, that is :)
ReplyDeleteI usually stay up late to do some praying but then again it will take some of your sleep time. Perhaps aim for just once a week a first.
