Psalm 131

I have recently been intrigued by the 131st Psalm. I have prayed it, sung it, and am seeking to find myself at one with its author in heart:

My heart is not proud, Lord; my eyes are not haughty.
I do not concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

But I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother.
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forever more.

::Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit - as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be unto ages of ages. Amen.::

How is a still soul like a weaned child with its mother? What is the meaning of this simile?

What thinkest thou? Please do comment.

Love and Peace,
Scott
