Hermitage

 Don’t try and build your own heritage.  I let God build it.  If I build it to my liking, it will be for my comfort, from what I know now.  But the journey is not about comfort, so much as about change.  And I won’t change if left to my own preferences.  Yes, I have some method, some place where I go to be quiet, but I do not yet know the silence and solitude of God.  I only know what pleases me in the beginning.  And the beginning can go a long time.  But if I say open, let God build the hermitage, then there will be moments when I am not so much looking for MY solitude and silence, but it suddenly shows up in a most profound way.  And I say, “OH!  Here I am God.”
