In quiet retreat, morning dawn, making ready for the day. This time, this room, these books, this chair are the means by which I walk toward you, Lord.
None of this is needed; you are there even in chaos. The morning peace makes it easier to feel you near.
You have granted me time to prepare, yet one day you may ask me to run before I feel ready. Let me then use this time well.
(Letter #3,431)
