A conversation…yet slower than the usual interaction. I slow down, and begin to hear…even if nothing is being said – no response is necessary. Presence is enough. I slow down - I become quiet – I enter the conversation. Lord, thank you for this lesson tonight.
The daily grind, the old masks and vices, threaten to drown out the silence of the recent weekend at the coast – but my time tonight in prayer silenced the cacophony – swallowing it up like a vast tidal wave crashing onto shore and continuing inland, leaving nothing in its wake, and the place I am rests, covered by the immense, peaceful Deep…the wave far off in the distance now…and here only the gentle current and blue as far in any direction as the eye can see. No shore in sight, and no need…
I love this…floating in gentle currents, lost in God. I’ve had some moments like this in prayer. Thank you for creating this place for contemplation.
