Love and Light: In the Stillness that Is...

In the Stillness that Is...

In the Stillness that Is

I can breathe

In the Stillness that Is

I can find truth

the Sacred Truth

of rock and bone

tear and blood

earth and sky

root and paw

a place in which

I bear witness

In the Stillness that Is

I am alive

I am valid

I am accounted for

I am

The Stillness that Is

never falters

never fails

never crumbles

It always Is

And it is in that Stillness

where I am reminded of who I am

that no matter what befalls

all is well and as it should be

Here I am reminded

to embrace this journey

yet not to hold on too tight

as it is one piece of something bigger

a stay over of sorts...

a journey within a Journey

I am reminded to let my blood flow,

and my bones to creak

allow my tears to fall

and feel my feet take root

hands on fire

raised up high

I am willing

For it is in the Stillness that Is

where I find You...

and know

I am not alone

What are you finding

In the Stillness that Is

my lovelies?

Love and Light

"a journey within a Journey" sigh.... xoxo
what am I finding in the stillness that Is? My humanity and my Divinity and my openness to my purpose. I couldn't have answered this a month ago.. such IS the journey within a Journey. this was so raw.. I think this might have been my favourite of yours to date.. or maybe it just touched me where I needed touching. Breathtaking, beautiful, Real. Thank you for sharing your talent and your very being. xoxo

Yes I find this...yet I also find boredom when I am too still...which I have been lately. I guess there is always a line or a feeling that we step into...but reading your journey made me feel wonder, awe and happiness for you. Hey, if we come that way this summer in mid August would you be open for a overnight with our family? I am debating whether I am capable of a holiday- who knows..but if? I would love to communion in your place with you:)

Oh boy, that is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE songs.
I love the stillness that you understand and have helped me understand more too. The 'journey within a journey'. Yes.
Your pictures have also captured a longing in me to walk. Walk somewhere reflective of His creative hands. Still and untouched.

Your words about life being kind of a 'stay over', 'a journey within a journey' really made sense to me, a lovely way of looking at things.

Thank you for your spiritual expressions, much appreciated!

Hugs

Be still... Be quiet... Listen. You just might hear that owl breathing up there in that tree! ;)
Peaceful days to you, sister o mine.

These images are calling me, drawing me in to walk in the stillness. In the journey of stillness I am finding myself and my connection to the earth, the animals and the Creator.

"I have a new command for you. As I have loved you, so you must love others. "~Jesus

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul...you have a heart." ~C.S. Lewis

"Humankind has not woven the web of Life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. all things are bound together. all things connected." ~Chief Seattle, 1854

If ever there comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known."~ Matthew Arnold

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”~ Buddha

"The world will be saved by the Western woman....Some people will call me a feminist...but we need more effort to promote basic human values-human compassion, human affection. And in that respect, females have more sensitivity for others' pain and suffering." ~Dalai Lama

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." ~Anatole France

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a feild. I'll meet you there. ~Rumi

"Those who seem to know more truth than you simply reflect the part of you that has forgotten. They are your touchstones to remember." ~Alan Cohen

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another;unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, resent, and the future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." ~Anais Nin

"Process is more important than outcome. when the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we're going, but we will know we want to be there." ~ Bruce Mau
