"Serenity: Still.Small.Voice"
STILL. SMALL. VOICE
beyond a whisper
underneath the gusts of wind
hiding in the crevices
the space
between the noise
often covered by the chatter
of doubt and insecurities
often overwhelmed
by the noise of the external world
the noise that says,
"You are not enough....
yet"
The noise that says
"get this job
make this money
make them like you
AND THEN
you will be loveable"
This still small voice is
hidden under the illusion
that it is outside accomplishments
outside opinions
that define our worth
and yet,
when we stop
when we detach from the noise
we THINK defines us
when we hear the soft putter of the rain
or feel the wind float past our skin
we quiet the chatter and feel deeply into the space
into the essence of presence
Beingness
A oneness with life
that then peels open our eyes
to reveal the truth beneath the noise
the buried gifts of every person
the magic waiting to be released
It is in this stillness
this present moment
a secure center within
that we radiate
emanate
illuminate our true potential
That we are guided
to adventures
to experiences
to our OWN authentic and unique answers
to a fulfilling life of love and serenity
peace and solitude found within us all
Turns out
that still small voice
isn't so small after all.
