Sad yet content
exhausted yet no place to sleep
empty yet too full to rest -

Most of all I long for stillness - reflection - energy to listen- to hear -
to do nothing -
In this absence all would be accomplished

Instead I ache body and soul for present to be future and home arriving
I long to weep but I am dried by the voices inside
"Strength lies in business"
"Strength lies within"
"Strength lies in appearance"

My strength does lie
it betrays my every fiber

Coming here the Truth slams into me suprizing - yet expected - I knew it all along
Back in it's place - in Balance - it is quite enough to hear....

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come and see the works of the Lord,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Psalm 46
