Today’s reflection comes from the pages of Joyce Rupp’s “Anchors for the Soul”. So many of us are feeling the crunch of the business of life once again, so it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed. Whether you’re on a retreat at the Center or just need to few quiet moments to reflect at home, this is a great starting point. Now, let’s take a few deep breaths and then read the following…
Stillness
stillness
just stillness
like my world seldom knows.
inside I have an expressway
that never slows down,
always full of going somewhere
always another thing to do
stillness
just stillness
filled with quiet, numinous sounds,
like butterfly wings, river murmurs,
cloud breaths, firefly blinks,
and silence, simple, serene silence,
nothing more
Today: I surrender to the call to be still.
~Joyce Rupp “Anchors for the Soul”
