![“If I'm going to continue to be any kind of spiritual teacher, I've got to go deeper myself. And so for me, [I am] preserving long periods of solitude, silence, prayer, journaling, study, writing. I don't turn on music or the TV unless I really need to.” quote by Richard Rohr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d6a/richard-rohr-618_deeper_if-i-m-going-to-continue-to-be-any-kind_270254.jpg)
