To recollect yourself is to recover all your scattered energies- those of the mind, the heart and the body. It is to reassemble all the pieces of yourself flung in the four corners of your past or the mists of your future, pieces clinging to the fringes of your desires.
Michael Quoist, With Open Heart
Most of us have neither time nor place for recollection in this busy life of ours- and thus the exhaustion. Recollection becomes a matter of priority only when we have experienced one too many times the tastelessness of a passionless life.
Gordon MacDonald, Restoring Your Spiritual Passion
