What happened to the quiet ripple
of one small act of kindness…
or the silent breath of awe
kept to oneself, not shared
on social media, caught on camera
or completely missed because you were gazing through some other lens besides your heart?
_______________
Slow down. Life was never meant
to be a race to the finish.
Your miracle is waiting
in the deep pool of quiet.
Linger here, in the cave
of your heart. Open wide
this vast reservoir of Good
that lives in you.
The biggest treasure hunt always starts within.

Hustle & Bustle used to visit during this holiday time of year. Now, they appear to be constant companions for most of us in an ever-rising tide of chaotic living.
I was beginning to get a little (ok, a LOT) caught up in the busyness of all the possibilities and opportunities and imaginings and “things-I-almost-always-do-do-do” at this festive time of year that my head was beginning to spin with more than sugarplums and fairies.
Then I got quiet. Gratefully quiet. Radiantly quiet.
And I found that all I really want to DO right now is BE. Be Love. Be Light. Be Compassion. Be Holy. Be Still.
So I am here to remind you (and me), as we enter a time that can be sacred and magical, to find your Still Point Within. Find it every day. Nourish it. Invite it to grow, and glow, and radiate beyond you into the chaos of living.
Breathe deeply into this space where miracles reside. The space where silent Presence will bring you back to what you know is the ‘more’ of this time (and any time) of year.
The miracle always begins in this still space of being where we reunite with the always glowing spark of God Essence, give it air to breathe, allow it to burn as a bright beacon to guide us in whatever we are meant to do.
If you’re feeling any kind of burn-out or resistance to the escalating energy of the world right now, take a long slow breath of being (as many of them as you need) to cherish the stillness.
Turn off the music, tune into your inner muse, and let the quiet embrace of GodLight fill you, breathe you, return you to the place of magical stillness that is always here, no matter what time of year.
Ahhhhhh. Now, the miracles can find YOU!
In Celebration of Stillness, Sor’a
