Poustinia of the Heart

wooden_shack_avatar_100x100_86931Life has become come increasingly demanding. I have a lot to think about. In order to do so, I need to withdraw into an inner hermitage for a while.  A “poustinia of the heart”, so I can hear God’s voice.

A poustinia (Russian: пустынь) is a small sparsely furnished cabin or room where one goes to pray and fast alone in the presence of God. The word poustinia has its origin in the Russian word for desert (пустыня).

I hope to find God within…meanwhile, I will only be blogging here: Seeking Silence 

I shall be back!
