Solitude is Air I breath

Picture
The first time I experience silence when I was in my youth. I cannot recall at what age. 16 perhaps.

​On my knee I prayed.
Deep in prayer.
Silence surrounded me.
Silence emerged within.
I sensed for the first time peace in me.
​A peace I never forget.
A peace I never felt before.
​A peace I never understood.
A peace of love and calmness lingered around and within me.
​Wrapped by the peace and love in silence.
​That moment of silence.
That moment of peace. 
Deep comfort and solace I felt then.

​Never did I realise years later, after my conversion and found God, it began my journey of my solitude life into deep silence, into contemplation. Thomas Merton's echoes how I feel, what I discover(ed) - the 'joys of silence, the peace of solitude'.  I need air to breath, to be alive. Solitude and deep silence is now my breath, my air.

Beautiful sharing Beth. We all seek peace. A good reminder that we should be open and explore solitude and not be afraid of it.

    Shalom! Peace-FuLL! Bless-FuLL ! Love-FuLL To you!

    I am Elizabeth, and also known as Angel Rose.  My Chinese name is
    黃 秀 珠.

    Ever since I come home to my true self,  I dare to step out and dance in the heart and garden of love.
    ​
    My desire to post here is to have courage to show up as who I am and in return to inspire each beautiful soul on earth to live life as who he/she is.  I am a seeker so I encourage you to be and continue to be a seeker.  Life is inevitable with ups and downs, challenges along our human journey.  However when we make time to insure the growth of our inner garden - our heart with  self-care, nourishment, growth, healing, play, creativity, silence and loving ourselves unconditionally, we can live life to the fullest with peace, bliss, contentment and gratitude, and  we can go forth to serve others in true joy and love.  I share here my journey with you as well as the ordinary moments I witness, experience and encounter in my daily life.  Let us journey together.  Let our journey begins.  let each of our unique soul's story unfolds like a rose opens her petals, revealing her heart.
