Great Quote by C.S.Lewis

" Lucifer does'nt care if we have crippling deep guilt or easy rationalization. He is as effective with questioning synical skepticism as he is with mind numbing blind obedient rigidity. He likes a complacent, lazy, apathetic person or an intolerant zealous finatic, as long as they are pushed to the extremes."

"There is a crowd of busy bodies, self-appointed masters of ceremonies whose life is devoted to destroying solitude where ever solitude still exists. And even where the planners fail and someone is left physically alone by himself, the wireless has seen to it that he will never be less alone than when he is alone. We live in a world starved for solitude, silence and privacy and therefore starved for meditation and deep true friendship. "

Can you remember the last time you were truly alone and experienced solitude, silence and meditation?

I was just talking to a friend/client today about needing to go away all by myself... maybe that's why. I need solice & silence. I need to find peace within. Thank for that, Lori. what an awesome quote.

I loved that last quote! Was that by CS Lewis too? And no, I don't remember the last time.
