My view from the pew: “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands” ~ Isaiah 55:12
Sitting quietly under the azure blue dome of His cathedral this morning, by the waters of Falling Rock, our name for the refreshed backyard pond where Captain Jack, Crystal and Jewel, our three newest koi, have taken up residence… The birds sing sweetly, the winds blow softly, the sun shines warmly and I feel each breath thankfully…
As I sit here, Psalm 46:10 goes through my head – “Be still, and know that I am God.” And as it does the phrase morphs into “be still, and know who you are.” Quiet, alone time is important, for so many reasons…
As Eckhart Tolle said, “To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.” Sit quietly for a moment and be still. Get a glimpse of what he meant… and have a blessed day!
