Without prayer we become deaf to the voice of divine love and become
confused by the many competing voices asking for our attention. When we try to
become very still, we often find ourselves so overwhelmed by our noisy inner
voices that we can hardly wait to get busy and distracted again. Our inner life
often looks like a banana tree full of jumping monkeys! But when we decide not
to run away and stay focused, the monkeys may gradually go away because of lack
of attention, and the soft gentle voice calling us may gradually make itself
heard.
Saint Thomas Aquinas
