Where Can I Find Space for Stillness & Quiet?
The quiet has certainly been calling to me lately. Life has been loud. So loud. Tinnitus-inducing loud.
I found out recently that someone I love betrayed me. One month has passed, and I'm still wrestling with the trauma of it all. It rang my heart like a gong, and my head is still reeling. Moment-to-moment, I tumble through the vertigo of a life upended.
I'm thankful that I have a trip to the mountains planned. I need the sound of rushing waters to help carry away this pain. I am comforted by birds and look forward to their healing song. I've been going on more walks lately, because my body is calling me to come home. After living in my head for so long, I wrap my own self in hugs, sing songs that soothe, hold my own heart. I ask to remain open to let this move through me, that the lessons be revealed, and the grace of healing change my path.
How did I get here? Where do I go from here? The answers wait for me, in the quiet of that still small voice. I'm awake now. I'm listening.
What do you do to create quiet when all feels like chaos?
