What is the work of meditation? "Your job is to provide the rest." In two senses - coming to rest, and providing the missing part. Although creation has two aspects - movement and rest, we're usually obsessed with the movement of doing. In meditation we come to rest. Jesus says, "Come unto me all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Gracious thanks to our retreat guests - Marion, Patrick, Dimitris, Andrew, Martin and Glenn for allowing us to share these insights from your questions with a wider audience.
