Stillness

Deep among the flurry of doing lies the unshakeable silence of being. 

It is the unspoiled feather as the embrace of a rough wave falls gently from a swan’s wing. 

It is the deep breath of a spring breeze that clears the path of winter debris. 

It is a jewel of peace that glimmers beneath the ashes and clay of our difficulties. 

There is a potent power inherent in stillness. 

From stillness, we connect to an inner knowing that exists far beyond the realm of the ego. 

From stillness, we may bless our growing pains as we recognise our soul guiding us towards our evolution. 

From stillness, we gather the strength to stand in the eye of the storm, knowing that at our core, we are impenetrable. 

There is a treasure of stillness that exists within us, waiting to be claimed in each moment. 

When every crevice of your life seems cloaked in chaos, you will hear the whisper of your heart calling you home to that space of holy silence.

Here you will find your footing upon the quaking earth. 

The part of you that was lost will uncover the sacred map that will direct you towards your horizon. 

And as you set out on this journey, each breath of surrender will birth trust. 

Trust that you will make it to dawn. 

Trust that you will meet the rising sun. 

Trust that as his rays grace your skin with warmth, they will illuminate the path before you.
