Today’s Reflection: SILENCE IS THE THINK TANK OF THE SOUL – Mental noise is hurting our minds . We are continually asking questions that create busyness not knowledge. We are in ‘reacting mode,’ leaving no room for reflection. To regain perspective in life we need to pause. Silence is fertile ground. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: Dear God,
On this day I ask You to grant this request.
May I know who I am and what I am,
Every moment of every day.
May I be a catalyst for light and love,
And bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet.
May I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict,
And the courage to speak my voice, even when I’m scared.
May I have the humility to follow my heart,
And the passion to live my soul’s desires.
May I seek to know the highest truth
And dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self.
May I embrace and love the totality of myself?
My darkness as well as my light.
May I be brave enough to hear my heart?
To let it soften so that I may gracefully
Choose faith over fear.
Today is my day to surrender anything that stands
Between the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity.
May I be drenched in my Holiness
And engulfed by Your love.
May all else melt away.
And so it is. — Debbie Ford

Today’s Reflection: We need to find God,
and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence.
See how nature – trees, flowers, grass,
grows in silence;
see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence.
We need silence to be able to touch souls. Amen. — Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Today’s Reflection: And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home. – Wendell Berry, The Unforeseen Wilderness

Today’s Reflection: Repeated in response to a request:
Never be in a hurry;
Do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,
Even if your whole world seems upset. — St. Francis de Sales

Today’s Reflection: Step over ants,
put worms back into the grass,
rescue baby caterpillars,
release spiders back into your garden,
open windows for bees to fly home,
they are all little souls that deserve a life too. — Author unknown
