Many scattered thoughts inside...
Some days I feel like there is a layer of silence that surrounds me. But it's just outside of me. I can hear the world going on around me, and there are thousands of thoughts swirling aimlessly within me. But I find myself drawn to the layer in between. It's almost like I can be an observer there. I see everything, and I hear everything. But I don't have to feel everything. Maybe it's my hiding zone. My safety zone.
And it's okay. I find when life is going faster than I can keep up with, it's easier to just step into the 'zone' for a bit, find my footing, listen for the Guidance I seek, take a deep breath, and just jump back in when the opening comes. It's sort of a balance for me lately. Well, actually, for years.
That's the way certain songs affect me, too. The music gets down deep in my soul and carries me for a while. Not too high, just above ground level. I like that. It's comforting.
Tonight is a quiet night... The stars are out, a chill is in the air, and the traffic is way off in the distance. No birds or crickets. An occasional dog bark. It's hard to believe I'm in the middle of a city on nights like this. I can close my eyes and imagine I'm anywhere...
I love the loud silence. Most days. But today, especially.
Be blessed - Because you are.
