we ask "what is the point of solitude?"
re-imaging our idea of what prayer is.....
Sometimes in prayer, we can wonder
what is the point of solitude?
When Jesus talks about prayer, he says to go into your closet...a place of solitude.... a secret place. Why? Because when you’re all by yourself you have nothing to do but be honest.
And honesty is the doorway to hear the voice of God.
Listening to the voice of God is listening to voice of Love.
And the voice of Love always carries you to your truest self.
Solitude is not being by yourself.
Solitude is the place in which you are introduced to your truest self.
This is a series of images and meditations I put together to “re-image” our idea of what prayer can be. I think we often feel like we fail at prayer because we can’t accomplish the internal image of what we think prayer is (hands clasped on a mountain at sunset for example). I put this altogether in a series of posters called Teach Us To Pray.
