Always Where We Are
“To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.”― Mark Nepo
“Whether through the patterns left in snow, or geese honking in the dark, or through the brilliant wet leaf that hits your face the moment you are questioning your worth, the quiet teachers are everywhere, pointing us to the unlived portion of our lives. When we think we are in charge, the lessons dissolve as accidents or coincidence. But when we’re humble enough to welcome the connections, the glass that breaks across the room is offering us direction, giving us a clue to the story we are in.”― Mark Nepo, The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Life
God does not require silence to speak.
We require it to hear, see, experience and immerse into beauty, joy, grace, love that is overflowing and in abundance.
Signs, wonders, cues, clues, patterns, intuition, inclination, serendipity, coincidence, direction, clarity, discernment, guidance.
Written and painted all over each day, on our heart.
We are the obstacle.
We need quiet to overcome the noise of the world, others, self, ego to hear the still small voice that is narrating our life.
Inviting our participation and partaking.
Not the way we command and demand.
When we stop trying to change God to fit our way, we realize that we are the ones who need to change.
And if we don’t or do it slowly and imperfectly, we are still loved all the way through.
The miracle and gift of love that transcends all and descends to walk beside us in the details of each day.
Always where we are.
“life is always where we are.”― Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening
