Popular quotes about Calls! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
To instruct calls for energy, and to remain almost silent, but watchful and helpful, while students instruct themselves, calls for even greater energy.

To pray is to let that voice speak to the center of your being, to your guts, and let that voice resound in your whole being.
