Come away....

"Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves

and rest for a while"

-Mark 6:31

Finding stillness on a planet that never stops spinning

straining against its centrifugal force to find solace

to find Center
 

The ripples subside and my soul becomes glass

reflecting to me my inmost thoughts

my deepest dreams

my Path with impenitent precision
 

This precious hiatus, this fulcrum

Away from earth's frenetic flood

Where Lost becomes Found

Where the riptide of reason recedes

Where the sanity of the Still and Small resurfaces

and the Communion born of solitude is restored
 

Thus filled

Thus stilled

I emerge

 Resurrected

Ready once again to re-enter

the round rhythm

of another Day

"Rise up, my love, my fair one,and come away"

-Song 2:10
