My mother, Emily, wrote these words in 2012, three years before she died of cancer. Today is the fourth anniversary of her death, and since I recently found this journal entry, I felt it appropriate to share her thoughts.
"In the silence, there is no confusion, no doubt, no fear. Resting in this space, I am aware that the Holy Presence surrounds me and is within me. Any mistake, thought or belief that I am separate from my creator dissipates. In the silence, I discern this sacred message:
'Be still and know that I am God'. My heart responds, and with this knowing, my soul is uplifted.
Resting fully in the Presence for even a few minutes, I receive assurance that I am one with God."
I nurture myself with times of sacred silence
