i think i am reigning in my vision to a more translucent path.
instead of many trails of earth and pebble and sea,
pulling me in multiple directions,
by sitting silent...
ever so silent...
{impatiently at times i might add}
the edges have begun to blur
and the path that lies ahead
is now
clearly emerging.
sometimes we have to sit still
give our hearts time to process and speak back to us.
i am still learning this lesson about my soul.
cul*ti*vate your "still heart" times
Such a great post... so very true.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time remembering to be still - thanks for the reminder.

ReplyDeleteVictoria~
oh chrissy...i love this!
ReplyDeletei've posted a page from a SARK book in my office of "sit still & let the beauty come"...
i have it up because it is a lesson i need to continually remind my impatient self of!!
& about this heart of yours, how wonderful to await what she will say, since she's such a gorgeous being...i just know her whispers will be wonders. xoxox
so true but it's so hard to be silent sometimes, so busy all the time. thank you for such a beautiful reminder! susan
ReplyDeleteBeing still sounds on the surface like the easiest thing ever, and yet it's so often the hardest. But whenever I find space and time and courage to do it, I'm rewarded by hearing from my truest self. I think you're on to something, sweet Chrissy... ;o)
ReplyDeleteDo you like the Eagles? This reminds me of their song "Learn to be still". I need to learn to do this. Thank you for the inspiration!! How's everything going for you in SR?
ReplyDeleteWow... what a beautiful thought... (and something I rarely do, but should!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for making us all take a moment and think about this.
hugs!
brave one you are...sharing this secret. i too am trying to sit still this year but i'm only whispering it to myself in hopes that i can keep it going : )
ReplyDeleteI too struggle with sitting still! Thank you for the reminder, Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and so true Chrissy!! Love this picture. I too have trouble sitting still. I need to do that more and just listen . . .
ReplyDeletehi love. so glad you are taking this time for yourself. truly being still is HARD, but oh so necessary for discovering the quiet parts of ourselves that are aching to be heard. i struggle with being still and need to find more time to do this myself.
ReplyDeletewhatever path you take, it will be the right one for you.
You are so right. It is very, very hard to be patient with ourselves. Waiting is the hardest part.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a gift to know when to sit and be still. You have this gift, my friend...you know that when we quiet our hearts, God speaks so much louder than a whisper.
ReplyDeletelove you-
Lara
I love you dear friend... being still and hearing that still small voice brings life.... to your soul... Loving you sweet friend. So glad that you have had some time being still.

The wise woman speaks again. Still is so hard, but so precious when you can make yourself do it
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration Chrissy

Your blog visit and affirmation made my day! I am in a season of doubt and doing my best to push it away. I needed your words of encouragement. You made ME feel special. Thank you!
ReplyDeletei love the sandy, well-tracked, narrow path to the ocean. it speaks to me of the narrow way leading to the broadening of real life in us. being still and learning to really know God... i always leave here feeling better about the world.
ReplyDeleteSaying my prayers for you and yours... Loving you so much! ox
