Silence is golden

I had several wonderful experiences last night. One being that I hadn't taken just a simple walk in quite awhile. I have been doing all of this running that I hadn't really just walked. It was heavenly...listening to the rustle of the wind in the trees and the quiet hum of the birds and tree frogs. The moon came out (I finished around 6:45pm) and things were fairly still. I had time for my body to relax in the walk, for my muscles to be stretched, and for my mind and heart to talk to the Lord.
---That lead to an evening of joy in many other ways. Of listening, of sharing of responding and of gentle silences.

Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
