What's It All About?

It's all too easy for days to pass without reflection. It's my hope that through a greater active awareness on each day, that I will be able to consider God's presence in my life and in the world around me. Writing has always been a way for me to round up my thoughts. This blog seems like a good place to park those thoughts for my own benefit as well as the benefit of others. Please take a moment to read what I have written, to offer comments, and to share the ideas with others.

Silence and Prayer

Big Chico Creek
Pictures of creeks and any other body of water are a perennial favorite with me.  The peace and tranquility are nearly unrivaled in my mind for some of nature's greatest gifts. This particular section of creek offers a stillness that I wish I could bottle up, take home, and uncork to experience whenever I need it. We have silence here of course (we are in the country) but it's my home and so I am frequently distracted. If only I could own such a bottle and take it down from the shelf as needed. A pipe dream you say? Maybe not. 

For this post I have an article that is a good read. The author makes a case for silence, prayer and the benefits to be derived frm those practices. The link is here.

    Dear Libby- followed your link. What a beautiful post on stillness and prayer. It is a practice that if each of us followed goodness would surely abound. Hugs Debbie
