The Vibrant Stillness
Upon a calm foundation I move into the world
Every morning my wife and I meditate on our porch overlooking a beautiful pond.
Today, it was especially comforting.
Noticing the stillness, I recognized the stability it’s calmness provided my spirit.
Upon the still waters I saw vibrant life.
Upon the stillness of my soul I could build a day, one of kindness towards others.
The still waters reminded me that all is well. Even in the midst of great chaos in the world my internal world can be calm.
Thank you to God for my still and vibrant life-giving pond.
