“In this quiet place, O God, help us to find quiet for our souls. For we need quietness. Shouting and tumult are always about us, and the noise of the world never dies down. Even in the night-time when we seek rest, the voices of the day go on. But in your presence, there is quietness. O God, let us find your presence now!”
A. Powell Davies, Unitarian minister, quoted in Fragments of Holiness for Daily Reflection
