The Art of Living Deeply Tina Korte

HERE YOU ARE...lost in the midst of a hectic life... stop and go traffic... stacked up e-mails... a maze of non-stop phone interruptions... ...tangled up in the quick anguishing twists of drama... at work, at home, with friends and family... ...skimming the surface of life missing what matters most to you... ...feeling empty, no space for yourself... ...longing for a simple moment of stillness to let go and breathe deep... YOUR INVITATION"Come on, Grandma, you can do it." Hopping across the shallow stream rock by rock, Nick stood hardly twenty feet away on the other side. At five, he was carefree and seeking adventure. I am exhausted as I attempt to herd him toward home. In my adult world I have a load of e-mails to answer, appointments to be made, looming dinner preparations and a repairman is due in a half hour. My feet wet in this dirty stream are not going to be a part of my afternoon. And what will I find on the other side? I don't have time for this.-And so she sings......the bird... Did she find her meal for the day? Feed her chicks? Spar with an enemy? Perhaps the joy she shares comes simply and purely from the depth of her being. And so she sings... When was the last time you touched the depth of your being?-COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT...let's walk together for a while, stepping onto another path... ...find our way to the Still ... ... I know too well about needing a place of peace where the day can stop whirling and be silent... ...we'll reach above our daily life and find a simple pure stillness, rich with ordinary blessings... ...together we'll grasp the power of God's silence all around us...
