The practice of patience and waiting: Henri Nouwen

Epic short reading by theologian Henri Nouwen about waiting as an active, mindful (prayful) activity, as opposed to the popular notion that waiting or inertia is wasting time. Featuring a quote from Jewish mystic Simone Weil: "Waiting patiently in expectation is the foundation of the spiritual life." Nouwen references Jesus' anguished prayer in Garden of Gethsemane, the night before his arrest and subsequent Passion. Nouwen frequented Abbey of the #Genesee in York, NY. We are spiritual beings living human existence.
