There Is Power in Stillness
Our miracles and life’s magic don’t appear when we’re restless and frantic. The miracles and magic happen when we’re still, quiet, calm, and trusting.
Each of us has favorite items and places that help to calm and quiet us. What stills our mind? A walk in the park, a special place in the city, a quiet room? An old chenille robe? A rock, a cross, a picture, a lit candle?
Use these places and things to find that place of stillness in yourself. Find the power in stillness. It’s a power that comes gently, like the morning sunrise or the evening stars.
Take time each day to seek out stillness,
to find that sacred spot. Let your mind
and soul be at ease. Don’t grasp and grab
for the magic and miracles. When
you reside in that place of stillness,
the joy, miracles, and magic you’re
seeking will find you.
