Solitude

  • I went to my special place this morning, the place that gives me the solitude that I need to ponder and to ask the Creator's help in a matter that needs to be resloved.

     

    Time does not exist for me in this solitude.  I close my eyes in this quietness, I only hear my breathing, in and out. I open my heart and mind to listen to the Creator, so that I may hear His voice. 

     

    I am told to open my ears and listen.

     

    I listen to the wind flowing through the path of trees, the wind blowing through  the dried leaves on the ground.  I hear the waterfall cascading down the rocks. I hear the birds chirping their morning song.

     

    I am told to open my eyes and see. 

     

    I look around and I watch a deer off in the distance watching me. I see the birds overhead and a vulture with his huge wing span circling over the rocks and the waterfall.

     

    I listen and watch in my solitude for the answers I seek. I realize that the Creator opened my mind, heart and soul. I had my answer all along, I just had to listen and see to receive it. 

     

    Before I leave, I return to the solitude of this special place.  I then thank the Creator for the gift of the knowledge and the blessings He has given me this day...
