If you still have something to talk about, when speaking with people, why should you run out of words during an intimate conversation with the Creator? Don't be afraid of that; I don’t believe it. However, it is necessary to get used to it, as it happens that in the presence of a person with whom one does not have a close relationship, one is entirely awkward: it seems as if they were a stranger, even if they are family, yet one still does not know what to say to them. After all, if no relationship is maintained, the intimate familiarity that arises from kinship or friendship also fades away.
(Teresa of Jesus, The Way of Perfection XXVI,9)
