There’s a wonderful empty space between my thoughts and Yours, a field of peace yawning to the horizon. When my striving drains out, when I feel the stillness of an empty heart, then I also feel Your life and breath permeating me.
Your words are always welcome, but in this stillness between my small words and Your bottomless wisdom, between our words is the sweet place of molding where I learn to relax in my weakness and wait for You.
Here there is peace beyond words and strength swells up like a silent unbroken wave. In this lovely quiet, words are too small to be part of our great exchange.
It’s hypocritical, I know, to try to spend words describing a stillness beyond words, but words are where I dwell most of the time. I just wanted a reminder to myself, in my world of words, a reminder of that other place without words. I hope I will find my way back soon.
