" I take the quite time I need each day to nourish my intuition and my desire for a peaceful mind."  .........

"A quiet hour is worth more to you than anything you can do in it."  This can be a hard lesson for many of us to learn.  We may have used keeping overly busy as a way to avoid our feelings.  It may feel very frightening for us to be faced with free, unstructured time.  Yet we crave peace.  We crave ways to value our being rather than just the doer in us.  And we cannot explore deeply inside ourselves if we are not willing to take the risk of becoming quiet.

When I am quiet, I hear my inner guide.  I hear the birds sing and sense the harmony of nature.    I feel the life force within me.  I know I am more than my mind or my body.  I am cradled by the universe.    Daybreak, September 22, Hazelden  1991
