Quiet Observations

Inner Sanctuaryeaext.

So much of our lives we live in reaction and forget to listen to the inner voice we have that's there to guide us. Our connection to God, our source of inner strength, spirituality and intelligence is there but it's become easier to focus on the outside world than look within.

The world offers an obscure hiding place from which we can dodge certain responsibilities and it also offers a place we feel we have a certain amount of knowledge and control. But do we really?

Worn out from weeks or months of challenging stress in everyday living, we find ourselves sorely in need of quiet. Time away from the pressure of the outer world in which we can escape the exhaustive pace we've grown accustom can seem elusive and what we may find in the precious silence may offer more than we realize.

Reminiscent of a retreat I attended a few months ago, I met myself in the silence and, though initially uncomfortable, I became more at ease with my own company as time passed. Within those intimate moments a voice spoke kindly to me, I questioned almost immediately if it were familar, However, even as I did so, I knew it was. This had been an old friend and over time I'd been both glad to hear from it and at times grown weary..The time I devoted to these conversations with only myself physically present were both pleasing and harsh with stark reality.Those were the times change was needed and although well aware, I found myself unable to confront the fear and anguish which accompanied the change.

Since then I have found the gift of inner guidance enligtening if only I continue to afford the time. For it is within faith and hope, and after many doubts and questions as cobblestone lain in a path before me, I find myself walking towards my dreams. Serenity washes over me because I know I am living in clarity and moving forward. It is with God's continual guidance I remain mindful and present within the silence that all is for a purpose.

Life is a journey. It is not a vacation to coast lazily along clueless of the cruelty of the world, but a quest from which we draw knowledge, acceptance and the intelligence to look within. For it is within each one of us we find the intuitive guidance and the wisdom with which to act in order to help one another find our true path and success.
