Our tendency is to fix, to cure, to solve. But often our first step should be to care. This is my reflection on a quote by Henry Nouwen on caring vs. caring.

Sometimes our anxiety turns prayer into obsessive venting sessions. But we would be wise to sit in silence to see if we can hear what God is trying to tell us.

How well do you handle silence? We often judge our worth by how active we are. But that activity can be destructive to some degree. Henry Nouwen helps us to see the value in silence.
