I loved the Selah video and the juxtaposition of the two hymns. Thanks again. I wish you peace.Karen Eastlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778112838401454642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-83204027604892195052022-07-08T11:31:34.786-04:002022-07-08T11:31:34.786-04:00Carol, your lines about sleeping through the thund...Carol, your lines about sleeping through the thunderstorm took me right to Christ sleeping in the boat when the storm came, whereupon the disciples woke Him in great fear. Peace in the midst of the storm is a perfect illustration for faith (or of "little faith", as Jesus admonished His trembling followers). Storms are going to come. Some are going to be more severe than others. But the Lord is with us, throughout all. Your poem is beautiful, in both the meditative message of release and in its lulling rhythm. As to "just be" - my original post on "Be still" in March 2020 included this deconstruction of Psalm 46:10, attributed to St. Patrick - you may be familiar with it, but if not, I thought you would enjoy:<br /><br />Be still and know that I am God.<br />Be still and know that I am.<br />Be still and know.<br />Be still. <br />Be.<br /><br />-Thank you for the blessing of your words this day.Fran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.com
