"There were also long periods of silence. For the master believed in solitude and silence. Say rather, he believed in God and he believed that when the human is still, the Divine speaks to it, because it is its own."- George MacDonald
Today I am having a quiet day of rest and silence. Still not feeling well; weary and tired and so thankful for a day of rest, with no walking required. As much as I enjoy getting out for fresh air, today my body and mind need those 'long periods of silence' that George MacDonald speaks of there.
May you enjoy His rest today.
and then there's life with small children: when silence happens at 10pm right before i start nodding over my book (or TV show)...which is another reason i run and steal an extra hour of it several times a week! Here's to silence while walking and running also! But i hear ya - some days, you need body silence too.
