Be silent, be still

I came here and started writing a dialogue, except that one side of the conversation was not written, only implied. It was very strange to have that come to me the way it did. I have saved it, in case one day I know what to do with it, but for now...well, here I am, finally writing something after 3.5 months of absence.

I noticed last week, in the midst of my own excitement, that many others also seemed excited (or at least their facebook statuses made it seem that way!). I began to wonder if there really was a new excitement bursting through the pain, anger, and sorrow that is often running rampant. Finally, a new shift in life? But now I am beginning to wonder if it was just due to the weather. Now that fall is here and winter is trying to make an early start, the excitement seems to have been shot down. There is still a little here and there, but it is being overcome by busyness.
Let us take time to slow down in the midst of it all. Walk among the trees, sit by the water, enjoy a warm beverage, and be still. Let us not be overcome by the rush of life, but instead let us close our eyes for a moment and just be.
