The Magic of Stillness

Sometimes when I am quiet enough, when I have let all my seeking and trying come to stillness like small children who have played hard all day and now tumble down to the ground around me finding sweet rest,

sometimes in those moments, I feel a spaciousness that is both what I am and that Sacred Mystery which is larger.

In those moments, living with a heart open to all of it, loving myself and each other and the world as we are right now, feels surprisingly possible and magnificently healing. ~Oriah

      Sabine, constant trying can be so depleting without us even realizing it. So glad you can take a breath with me. :)

    Thank you for your poetic beauty. Each time I read one of your posts - I ask myself to pause and let you know how deeply I appreciate your words. I usually don’t. Today I am. 🙏
