In this book the authors discuss God speaking to Samuel in the Bible. It says that Samuel's response is brief because he simply wants to hear God speak again. That to me is beautiful, he just yearns to hear God's voice! As the class has discuss decentering one's self is a key part of prayer and sacred journey. This is a great example of that and the author writes about this as an example of one who prays decentering themselves and it speaks of God being the one who gets rid of our selfish nature. God is the one who decenters us from our own thoughts/actions and brings us closer to Him as long as we give Him the time out of our life for Him to take us out of our selfish ways.
