156/499 … speaking to Listen (09/29/08)
We enter Logrono, another large city in which we do not wish to remain long. Here, I’m seen waiting in a town market to buy some fruit for the Journey.
“Even when it speaks, humility listens …
It is not speaking that breaks our silence,
but rather the anxiety to be heard …
The humble man speaks only to be spoken to.”
~ Thomas Merton
