It turns round and round about (Saint Nilos the Ascetic)

If you’re bound, you can’t run. Nor is a mind that works like a slave for some passion or other capable of real prayer. Because it’s dragged here and there by its impassioned thoughts and can’t be still. You’ll never manage to pray purely if you’re involved with material things and are upset over continuous commitments. Because prayer means freedom from concern.
