Silence and stillness seek you.
It may have been awhile since you have talked,
But they are ready to sit with you and give you all the time you need.
Silence and stillness in these last two weeks of the year are likely the
best presents we can gift ourselves.
Silence and stillness, in these last 1.5 million heartbeats that will get
us to 2026, could become our new rhythm.
Will we accept their invitation?
Will we make space for nothingness, for everything, for
ourselves this holiday season?
May you find silence and stillness in these last days of the
year, brothers and sisters.
And in those moments where you become distracted and
overwhelmed,
May silence and stillness find you.
Yes, silence and stillness are even greater gifts in this busy season than at other times. To accept them, we have to open our clenched fists to release whatever other stuff we're grasping. In so doing, we allow our open, empty hands to receive that silence and stillness, which soothe, relax, and comfort. Psalm 46:10 says "be still and know that I am God". Blessings...JR.
