How Answers Come

I woke up this morning thinking of the topic...how answers come. I'm talking about prayers and the inspiration that can follow. Sudden thoughts that come into your mind and heart...that can guide you to new horizons in your life. A big part of it is clearing the stress from your mind and worries from your heart so you are open to new thoughts then taking time to pray and meditate.

Here's an interesting book my friend Mary suggested reading:

Restoring the Sacred Rhythm of Rest by Wayne Muller.

"All of life requires a rhythm of rest. There is a rhythm in the way day dissolves into night, and night into morning. There is a rhythm as the active growth of spring and summer is quieted by the necessary dormancy of fall and winter. There is a tidal rhythm, a deep, eternal conversation between the land and the great sea. . . In our bodies, the heart perceptibly rests after each life-giving beat; the lungs rest between the exhale and the inhale. . . The Sabbath is more than the absence of work. It is a sanctuary." Have a peaceful inspiring Sabbath.
