“I had tried, as I thought as a nun, to open myself to God and God seemed totally uninterested in me. The heavens remained closed and opaque. I now realize, of course, that I had a very, very inadequate idea of God. I was expecting clouds to part, a little sort of whisper in my ear, and of course, that's not what God is. God is not another being; we are talking about something much more profound.” LittlesIdeasCoursesHeavenRealizingTalkingEarsProfoundCloudsExpectingInadequateNunOpaqueUninterested Author:Karen Armstrong
