And idle mind is a prerogative for doing Yoga and other kinds of meditation. If we shut down our mind, we open a door for the devil.KingdomBuilder wrote:Well I know proverbs uses hands.

I remembered another one today while at our men's prayer breakfast. We have a member of the group who fits this description.

Referring to someone who talks things to death, dominates the conversation focusing on minutiae, and doesn't listen to others. Garrulous.
