His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation. ~Jean Arp

When I think in my past I have always liked quietness and stillness, while everyone would say "Ah its too quiet here how can you stand it?" Put on the tv or the radio. Now I know why I liked the stillness and quiet.

God Bless, Amber

Exactly right Rosebud, hug

those that cannot stand the quiet are the ones who have much difficulties with self, they are so far from self and in fear of getting to know self, that the silence, the stillness becomes too loud and perfectly on queue for their stage of spiritual growth, they turn away from it.

It is the quietness, the stillness in which we find our true selves, and discover our most inner beauties. For those who are ready … the quietness, the stillness becomes a haven for relief from the frenzied outside world.

Do you see how you were led along your path, so destined to be here now, on the path of finding self and close contact with your inner God; the stillness has led you here by its mystery. It has enticed you to discover and invites you to unravel the unknown like a buried treasure.

It is the search within, the search in the stillness, not the focus on outside stimuli, that you will find all your answers, your confidence, your faith, your trust and my Dear Rosebud your beautiful divine LOVE, that which of all of these things You Are!
