Everyday I ask the loving voice of wisdom, which dwells in our hearts and elsewhere in this world: “What would you have me know today?” And then I listen. This is what I heard one day, not long ago…
From elsewhere:
“Come into the presence of still water.” (Wendell Berry)
From my heart:
Beloved one, though all around you life travails, be like me. Be the quiet water that you are.
Yes: Depend on flow. What pours into you and what pours out.
Yes, of course: All is dynamic, even the quietest of still waters.
But pool up, beloved. Gather yourself in stillness.
Take all that comes to you, and hold it in your belly.
Let go of all that comes, that you may be the source that floods and waters all those who are nearer to the ocean and further from the heights than you.
Gather. Pool. And pour, beloved.
And know that I am in it all.
Who do you know who needs to hear this?
