Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this. Others say they would be better off in church. If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church. If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you. God is not distracted by a multitude of things. Nor can we be.
Meister EckhartNo man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister EckhartThink more about who you are and less about what you do, for if you are just, your ways will be just.
