People when we talk suggest that quietness and sense of shalom is difficult to find
It can be ...but the practice is necessary if l can as white working class lad from northern coast of UK can find it's pattern. We all can. Sometimes sit in favourite place find this method best. Quietness let it surround myself.
Grab hot drink light candle say 'Lords prayer'. Say some blessing lots around. If struggling play peace of 'ambience music'.....Mody. Fleet Foxes. Clannard.
Light a candle look at piece of art. Think about ACTS. Adoration think about bird flying recognise God in nature trees colours of leaves. Sea crashing on a beach. Shape of peddles.
All simple, think. What's, who has God created. Whose on my mind where are they in LIFES journeys. What are my request for others. What my request for myself.
Deep stuff politics, end to wars, poverty, neighbourhood challenges, family needs, place of Church, Thanks for music media.
After the quiet. Watch news for 15 minutes. Listen to podcast doodle any thoughts.
Now ready to face the day. Or retire for the evening. This works for me.
