Shhh, listen, what do you hear?
Nothing?
Listen closer.
Thoughts, rumblings?
Labeling them thinking, wipe away your own thoughts
Think of nothing
Just listen
The birds, they sing
The wind, it howls
The leaves, they shake
Recognize all but stop listening to them
They are noise, label them as such
Turn inward
The silence within
No tension, no anxiousness, no reserved meeting time
Just silence
Just God
Listen
Wordless words speak your name
Wordless words speak of love
You are love
You are peace
In this moment, in this silence
be present, be aware
God is this moment
Again, come the thoughts
Want to do, need to do
Back to the silence
Back to the peace
Back to the love
Be filled with love
Filled with hope
The wordless words grow louder
Until the shout your name
Home is where you are
Home, in the arms of God
Be still
Be patient
Listen
Let no distractions come into the silence
Label them thinking and concentrate on God
Be it a moment, be it an hour
This silence is a prayer
This silence is a connection
Be still, feel
Be still, listen
Love envelopes your person
Embrace the silence
Embrace God
Listen, God is speaking
He is speaking to you
Will you shut off the world and just listen?
