"Be Still and Know"

Listen... listen closely to that 
inner voice,
The voice that learned to stop calling...
long ago.
It's there, longing to be heard.
Longing to connect.
Hear it.  Feel it.  It's in the heart.


Quiet the mind, which has chattered
for so, so long now - endlessly
questioning,
challenging, 
berating,
belittling,
doubting, 
attacking.


It's no longer the mind's time to lead.


It is time to hear the beckoning of 
the inner voice,
the heartbeat, the energy
of the Spirit.


Be still and know...
there is no doubt when you
answer its call.
