A Soothing Word

I had just finished giving one of my talks on prayer.  As I was gathering up my things I saw a woman looking at some books I had placed on a table.  I started up a conversation.  Up until then I had been wondering if I am making any difference, if all I say is of any use, or helpful.  Or is it time to go into the silence of a hermit.  I think that way sometimes, so feedback helps.  Anyway, this woman became a moment of grace.  She said, "You have a very simple way of saying things that is helpful to me."  Well, that made my day!  On to another teaching, and put off finding a cave for yet another time.
