Be Still
Sitting quietly, no music, no TV, just being. Noise is always going on in my house, background noise so I wouldn't feel the emptines . Always distracting me so that I wouldn't be alone with my thoughts. I could never "be still", not even sure if until this morning I knew what that meant.
I have a small little sign that I got at a woman's retreat this spring, I hung it on my mirror and never gave it a 2nd thought. I was asked 2 weeks ago by someone what does that say? "BE STILL" It's a Bible verse, Be still and know that I am God. That was it, no more said by my sweet Jewish friend. Today as I'm reading the last 2 chapters of "A New Earth", it talks about being still, just listening to the silence. I wrote in my journal, Be Still, Breathe, Listen, Space.....these things keep resonating in my head, my books, the Bible. A song came on while I was getting ready that saysYou're parting waters
Making a way for me
You're moving mountains that I don't even see
You've answered my prayer before I even speak
All You need for me to be is still.

I turned off the music, thought about each breath, listened and became still.
