Settling Down

For the last year or so, I've used a short collection of celtic prayers to help me make the transition from a cluttered mind in the presence of Penny to a quiet mind in the presence of God.  We found this little book at the Iona Community bookshop last year entitled "Through the Year with St. Columba."

I read the same prayer every day for a week and this week's prayer has been so helpful. 

I weave a silence onto my lips
I weave a silence into my mind
I weave a silence within my heart
I close my ears to distractions
I close my eyes to attractions
I close my heart to temptations
                          -- David Adam

Fellow travellers, may you find it useful along your journey too.
