Up at the normal hour…3:45 a.m. I find the silence intoxicating and somewhat perplexing. The irony of the moment is found in the truth that I am a people person. Give me collisions of friends and acquaintances and I will be supremely happy.
On the other hand, I find compelling the noise of a tropical beach, a mountain meadow or a desert gully. It is the stuff of peace and rest. For all the joy that others give me in crashing together in relationship, the serenity of a subtle natural moment is nearly beyond words.
Thank you, dear Lord, for the quiet of this moment.
“Be still and know that I am God.” NASB
