If you stand very still by Patience Strong

If you stand very still
by Patience Strong


If you stand very still in the heart of a wood
you will hear many wonderful things-
the snap of a twig, the wind in the trees,
and the whirr of invisible wings.


If you stand very still in the turmoil of life
and wait for the voice from within-
you'll be led down the quiet ways of wisdom and peace
in a mad world of chaos and din.


If you stand very still and you hold to your faith
you will get all the help that you ask.
You will draw from the silence the things you need
-hope and courage, and strength for you task.


Some days I need to be reminded of this. A link to read more about her is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience_Strong
