Silent Pauses

Tossing a pebble into a silent pond creates a ripple effect, with each concentric circle expanding outward from the gentle touch.

One’s night rest becomes a quiet pause amid bustling activity, a sacred moment needed to forge meaningful ripples for the day ahead.

Without this restful pause, the restless day begins, leaving a “ripple-less” surface that reflects unformed and unaware responses.

The gentle touch calms the mind, soothes the spirit, restores exhausted cells, and opens the door to the unconscious.

It awakens awareness from sleep, ignites visions, fuels creativity, and renews strength for new challenges.

It models how we manage the day's activities.

That restless day needs to be interspersed with moments of silent pause, to listen to the Spirit, to birth ideas, and to cultivate inner awareness of self and others for growth.

Night was made for this silent pause, a moment for the pebble to kiss the pond, paving the way for life’s paradoxes and struggles to be navigated.
