A Heart Full Of Wonder:10/24
Fromm the journal October 2024:
I think a sometimes the most profound truths lie in the spaces between thoughts. In a world that often celebrates noise, busyness, and constant activity, it’s easy to overlook the power of stillness—the quiet moments that invite reflection and understanding.
As I sit here, pen in hand, I realize that it’s in those fleeting pauses, those silences between my thoughts, that the deepest insights often emerge. It’s almost as if the universe whispers to me in those spaces, revealing wisdom that I might miss if I’m too busy chasing my next thought or worry. When I allow myself to simply be, to sit with my breath and embrace the stillness, I find clarity that eludes me in the chaos of my mind. I think about the times I’ve rushed through life, always needing to fill the silence with chatter or distractions, afraid to confront the emptiness that sometimes lingers. But what if that emptiness is not something to fear? What if it’s a sacred space, a canvas where the most beautiful truths can paint themselves?
In those moments of quiet, I’ve discovered insights about love, about my desires, about the paths I want to walk. The answers often come not from frantic thinking but from the gentle unfolding of my heart in stillness. I remember a recent meditation session where I sat in silence, letting thoughts float by like clouds in the sky. It was then that I stumbled upon a realization about my creative journey—something I had been grappling with for weeks suddenly became clear.
So today, I’m committing to honoring those spaces between my thoughts. I want to carve out time to sit in stillness, to breathe deeply, and to welcome the quiet. Whether it’s through meditation, a walk in nature, or simply sitting with a cup of tea, I want to allow myself to be present in those moments. I’ll remind myself that it’s okay to pause, to step back from the noise, and to listen to the whispers that emerge when I create space for them. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the most profound truths often lie waiting in the stillness, eager to be discovered. Embrace the quiet to seek the insights that emerge in the spaces between thoughts, and to the magic that unfolds when we allow ourselves to simply be.
With a heart full of wonder…always.
