S.O.S. – Sanctuary Of Silence

Screenshot

CHAOS! CONFUSION! CONFLICT!

I do not KNOW anything anymore except that
every day I am faced with LOUD aggressive voices
each telling me why the “others” are “evil” –
whatever that means these days!!!

and then – there are AI-generated memes and videos
that look so “real” portraying scenes that support
whatever their message is – the world is in uproar!

SO, I am left in TOTAL CONFUSION and FEAR!
What can I believe? Who can I believe?
“Chaos” is the opposite of “order” and that is
all I can see right now as I look around –
chaos! disorder! destruction! and all that overload
makes me feel totally empty inside with a mind that
cannot begin to understand where I am, who I am,
how I got here, and what happened to the world
I knew???

THEN . . . as I walk around my yard to try to calm myself,
I see some white flowers growing among the weeds
and I stop to wonder how they are growing in the midst of
“weeds” – they cannot be getting any help from those
dead weeds and yet, they are growing there!

The flowers are in a “group” together with their stems going
down into the soil beneath them, so their roots are getting
what they need and they are open to the Light of the sun.

As I stood there, I felt there was a message in that little
group of flowers that I needed to answer all my confusion.
• draw nutrition through my roots,
• take in the Light, and
• stand with others doing the same thing . . . hmmmm!

A short trip into my yard – a moment of Silence in the
Sanctuary of my yard brought a sense of Peace
to a heart weary and worn out from looking at the
world that had been “created” by some in pursuit of
power and wealth when what I needed was a moment
breathing in my Sanctuary of Silence in the REAL world,
the one created by a Power beyond the comprehension
of we “little human beings”!

Lesson for ME:

schedule some moments daily for
breathing in my Sanctuary of Silence . . . listening
and breathing in the Life and Love of all creation!

About Jeanne

a work in progress . . . with many traumas of varying intensities and life experiences revealing a Power beyond explanation, I am more open and less defined than in years past - raised in a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian home, I spent my young adult years searching for “truth” in many places and “unlearning” much of what I “knew” and that has drawn me to explore many other paths and gain from the journeys of others. My childhood was spent living in many places in the United States due to my family's music or ministry—The Hicks Family, made up of Olan and Barbara Hicks, my younger brothers, Clint and Chuck and me, sang in different combos (put out an album) - we do so no longer professionally . . . but, until my parents’ passing, a visit to a family gathering in Searcy would bring you to hear some harmonizing and foot-tapping sounds! Music still speaks to my heart. Photography and graphic design are primary aspects of the path God has me walking - new lessons come often as I observe and ponder the world around me and learn from creation—so exciting!
