Be still and know that I am God.
I can go days, weeks, months, even years, completely disconnected. I stumble through my days, nothing working out right, and generally unhappy about life. Then one moment, usually while driving alone in the car, I glide right back into flow. I'm not sure what makes these moments different from others. Perhaps it's the quietness, the solitude. These moments usually bring me to tears. Is that all it takes....to be still? Why didn't I do this sooner? Why have I been torturing myself worrying about nonsense, when I can simply connect, let go, and trust? Life works out much better that way. And it sure feels a lot better.
I had one of these moments last night, alone in the car. One of those "ahhhh. life is beautiful, I am loved, I am bright white light" moments. It was wonderful. I live for those moments.
I would really like to spend more time in this connected state. That will be my mission today. To stay in the flow, and to seek the flow whenever I find myself taking a negative spin.
It really makes me wonder about something. My grandfather was an American baptist minister, and over the front of the sanctuary of his church it said "be still and know that I am God", obviously a quote from the bible. What if we've been reading it wrong? Perhaps it is saying it as a self affirmation, for one to be still and realize that they are God. That they are the beautiful, wonderful, loving beings that they are. That God is within. That God is you.
I think that will be my new affirmation to myself. "Be still and know that I am God". I'm pretty sure that will make all the difference in my day.
