Yes I get caught up in my own thoughts, my worries of things that I should be doing. Today I am being calm and resting and reading. The only trouble is that this is not good for the ego that wants to accomplish something worthwhile. Today is a day to listen and nourish my soul. My prayer is that the light within me will grow brighter and energy will quicken my pulse with renewed hope.
Sometimes when I visit the elderly near death it seems like they come home with me. I realize what is important in life. I remember the dream I had when I heard footsteps walking around in my house. Go away I yelled and nothing changed. I watched the door but it did not open so I opened it and yelled go away. Then I went back to sleep.
I ask myself what am I worried about? I am I afraid of the unknown future?
"You will lead me besides still waters. You will restore my soul. My cup runneth over."
I read "Every soul is a sanctuary for God. God holds the key to many doors but he waits for us to open the door of our heart.. That is our job, to make a home for God within us."
This is from "Hope Will Find You" by Naomi Levy a Jewish Rabbi.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Jewish authors as they say "however", " notwithstanding", and "none the less" and "just maybe." I find they are much more open to letting you find your own answers because the key to the puzzle of life is available.
Looks like the sun is out in that photograph.
ReplyDeleteI also clean out the leaves from the ditches and drains so the water will flow off and not make a big puddle. In fact, I wonder sometimes who is doing this in Aschcroft now that I am gone.
Love,
Rick
