Arrested by rest!

Clarify

Today I sipped a slice of sky, then sank in a storm of Quiet. We have differing words for it, I call it Stillness

It wakes me up: to just be. To lull. To leave human error

grows Trees in my heart; they do Psalms like palms, deep within

where deserts run like Streams not saying syllables, just be-ing.

Call it Laze. Between the stench of screaming headlines and darkness,

to even sit back down….sigh. The healing. Allow me to make clear my case for those of us who cannot tolerate this non mobile function:

done in the truth of its very existence: to laze, in its right steam, is to sink into the sky. Perhaps then, a human might see a piece of them self, wanting, even more clarity on their status with the unseen.

  3. In quietness and confidence is your strength and rest. I’ve pulled away this week for just that quietness and met with Him and needed to. Thanks for sharing. Kath, your FMF neighbour at #11 this week.

  4. Yes and no and sometimes. Right now the rain outside is trimming leaves off the trees which Autumn commanded to fall. Soon the rain will be in full panic mode while I get my best sleep. But I am inside a fortress and not in a boat. I can’t do Jesus style rest.

  6. Amen. It is like praying – we often want to fill up the silence with chatter and noise, But you can’t hear the voice of God if you don’t stop talking and listen!!!
