The Stillness...

It began with a whisper, with a gossamer soft brush of wings it alighted, landing deep and sure. Like the sun peeking over the horizon after a long night of dark and cold, it warms as it spreads loving arms to land and sky.

Where questions sought answers, where thoughts demanded surcease, where emotions as mighty as the tallest ocean wave build and crash upon the shore of mind, heart and spirit...a calm has ascended, descended across land and sea, moving with purpose to make it through every surface, every area weeping in silence....bringing in healing quiet, a soothing hush...

The mind, dear hearts, is a wonder of miracles...given time it pushes its head above water and stays there...given time the mind mends much...with love, with care and compassion the mind makes its way back to live large once again.

My heart and mind has been quiet my friends, while much has been thought on and of it is with a glad heart that I sit in the stillness and gather all that is good, all that is lovely to me...I surround myself with love, with care, with compassion and leave all that which is chaos behind me. All that would create fear and discord has been left in the rear view and getting fainter, blurrier the further I walk, the further I embrace life and all that it has to offer.

All that would disturb my peace has been dropped to the dirt...deposited in the garbage where it belongs...I look forward and see that all that is good and right is in that direction...

If I need a reminder of what not to do, of who not to waste time and energy and love on, I will open a page of my book and look...I will remember the pain, the horror of the person involved, the absolute monstrosity of that personality bobbing uselessly through life destroying goodness and light, smothering hope and joy where he can....

With a jolt, with a tinge of distaste and gag reflex, I slam that door....biohazard containment vault door closed and locked.

Dear treasures...Oh the difference between that life of fear and this life of peace, of love and grace, of mercy and compassion....truly night and day...one full of darkness and grief, the other full of possibilities, of hope, of faith, of peace.

God is good my friends...more than that, He is able...

Waymaker...

Miracle Worker...

Light in the Darkness...

All things are possible....

Walk tall....stand with pride and knowledge of your worth....carry a big stick and walk it out dear hearts. Worthy...worth of all that is good, all that is loving and kind. Worthy.
