When it doesn't work my mind wanders, sometimes towards sleep.Simon Heywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660407801528541647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757790087474609097.post-9753299980593464092009-08-10T17:47:32.934+01:002009-08-10T17:47:32.934+01:00Intriguing and the words from Prospero's Islan...Intriguing and the words from Prospero's Island are a comfort, thank you. Personally speaking, MfW or any holy silence is to exercize my 'trust muscle'. For me, this trust is key and allows me to let go and experience light and love. I say this as I view trust as being a large part of any love relationship, my main one being in my vocabulary, God. Plainly put, I experience time, space and emotional place for that still small voice. I know I am to listen and just BE, but often I find once the mundane thoughts simmer down, an internal dialogue some times remains with this voice. Some times thoughts, verses or clarity on some ordinary problem will come forth. Other times, I just experience a peace that cannot be taken away by the world and room to breathe. I am lifted up and refreshed like water flowing over me. My initial apprehension is gone. It still takes a bit of courage for me every time, but the end result is worth the effort.Jan Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642571561383445699noreply@blogger.com
