The Silence of Saturday

 



Today, just be in silence.  Today, sit outside in stillness.  Today, give your inner critic the day off; tell the giants on your shoulders go to Starbucks for a coffee break; the people who want to “fix” you that they can take a vacation; the dishes in the sink to wait; the laundry to stay unfolded; Netflix to stay unwatched; the book unread; let your life speak.  Let God speak, sing, or simply sit with you in silence ~ for silence is God’s first/native language.  May God meet you, as God met Elijah in the wilderness and Jesus on the mountain, in the sound of sheer silence that moves our souls to be awake now and always. Amen.
