And God turns up.

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

I hear so many older people saying that in isolation and quiet their 'awareness' is  becoming more acute. There are birds in the garden, tiny birds, that they don't recall hearing before, singing in such beautiful  harmony. There is a beautiful rose bush outside the window that  only weeks ago was stripped in a destructive hail storm that's now blooming with a mass of colour, brighter than they recall having ever seen before and I wonder in the time of our own stillness and quiet, perhaps in your sacred space, how God's glory is impacting on you?  Can you see it? can you hear it? Can you feel it?   What is God saying to you? 

I read this quote from Clement of Alexandria (c150-c212). Wonder at things that are before thee, making this the first step to further knowledge.

May the Lord of peace give you peace at all times in all ways.  Anne, servant of the Lord
