Be still and know that I am God

25Jul
Be still and know that I am God.
-Psalm 46:10


These words seem to reflect my journey in life, and really speak to my pilgrimage experience. Miracles abound all around me and you. If I only breathe in the sacred air of each moment, my presence deepens. I take three deep, sacred Celtic breaths and let my soul catch up with my body.


On my journey in Wales, I experienced broken hearts and glorious repair, the glee of young artists (pictured), and the great voices in the wind. The gigantic verdant greens of the hills and mountains, the rocks and rills of rushing waters all proclaim the joy and glory in God’s presence about and around me. Ah the symphony of God’s presence. This was the perfect “ oil change” I needed!


In the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “flower drum song“ there is a terrific song.” A hundred million miracles. This song says it all to me, for miracles are happening all around and within me!


Musical Reflection - A Hundred Million Miracles - Flower Drum Song, Rodgers and Hammerstein


 Go into the world, and Shine God’s Love. Amen.
