“Day One: •For thirty minutes, turn off all technology . . . your smartphone does have an off button. •Make a good strong cup of coffee or tea. •Find a good place to sit. •Begin by speaking aloud these words of the Psalmist: “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” (139: 23–24). •Then, be still. No writing. No talking. Nothing.” — Celebration of Discipline, Special Anniversary Edition: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard J. Foster
