Shhhhhhh....



I wish I could have done a better job of making the words above more easily readable. Damn fonts.

When I was in a very bad place, when my first marriage was in such a horrid state, and I wrestled with how I could fix something beyond my capabilities, my best friend Mickey used to make me go with her to the Forest Preserve, in the middle of the day, and be quiet.

"You gotta listen, Ibe, and in order to listen you have to shut up."

She made me lie down and she kept guard so I could lie there in the breeze with my eyes closed or open, but do nothing but listen. It took weeks before I could last more than a few minutes, but I got to the point where we could just sit, and listen, for an hour or more.

But if you want to hear, you have to shut up.

Be still.


Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is holy
Be still, O restless soul of mine
Bow before the Prince of peace
Let the noise and clamor cease
Be still

Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is faithful
Consider all that he has done

Stand in awe and be amazed
And know that He will never change
Be still

Be Still; Be speechless

Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know He is our Father
Come rest your head upon His breast
Listen to the rhythm of His unfailing heart of love
Beating for His little ones
Calling each of us to come
Be still.
