Stillness

Silence. It has been said that it is only in silence that truth is really heard. Maybe that's true. I'm beginning to believe it's true. It's become apparent that I'm at a place of stillness. Silence. Aloneness. A place where there is no such thing as seeking advice from outside sources. Where the voice of God interjects between the thought to speak and the actual words that come out of my mouth. I reminder of what I'm about to say, a double check... of ... do you really want to say this? Is this of Love? Is this creating that which you wish to see more of in the world? There comes a time when only stillness suffices for stillness, silence suffices for silence and your true self suffices for who you are, who you want to be, and who the world sees you as. And for some, it takes more courage to surrender than it does to fight. *I* am one of those people. To say I feel introverted would be an understatement. I crave stillness. A peace that surpasses understanding. Where my cushion is exactly where I want to be, totally and completely. When needs take precedence over wants and my desire to share all of this with anyone is not at all. It's a beautiful space, and not nearly as painful as I always thought it would be. "Enlightenment is coming, and it will wait however long it takes." Patience. Trust. Being here now. Things I never thought I'd learn.

With Grace & gratitude...
