"... "

"why are you so petrified of silence? here. can you handel this?"

church services, libraries, crowded coffee shops... how revolutionary to find a peace and a quiet in all of them. how refreshing it has been to hear His voice and for some of the first times in life not be afraid of having nothing to do, not insisting on calling every name on the nokia contact list in attempt to fulfill a hunger for business.

in the midst of this peace and quiet lingers discovery, revelation. discovery of His voice, His love, His grace. revelation that while noise assists giving it also inhibits recieving. the balance remains in question. the quiet brought forth the unexpected this day.... a meditation, a conversation, a book, a slow awareness that this life an everything in it is Someone Else's.

cabinning in the woods may have begun prematurely... that's quite alright.
