A Silent Voice

I sat by myself at lunch today, outside in the park.

----The warm wind blowing,
---- A storm brewing on the horizon,
-------- dark clouds swirling about
-------- dancing to some silent tune.
-------- Light, billowy, dark and ominous
---- ----they intermingled and embraced.

My silence was broken only by the traffic.

---- The sounds of cars, horns, sirens…a jackahmmer
-------- the activity of man.
---- In the sky the dance continued unabated,
-------- patches of blue sky appear and then vanish,
-------- clouds reform and pirouette,
---- weeping as they rise up.

I sat there mesmerized by the majesty all around me,
 
---- Horns blaring, engines racing, construction,
-------- the sounds of frenetic activity,
---- engulfed by the noise I entered the stillness.

Hearing a silent voice on the wind I perceived my Lord.

---- "Watch the Dance! Watch the Dance!"
-------- The wind increased, the clouds moved swiftly…
---- "Watch the Dance….watch the Dance,
-------- for you are part of a dance that I create.
---- Live the Dance…
-------- Feel the peace of the place you are in,
-------- the smell of the grass,
-------- the light fragrance of flowers in the air.

----Know that I AM behind all things,
--------Know that I AM directing,
------------Know that I AM"

What a beautiful contemplative/charismatic moment, thank you for helping us journey with you.

That's beautiful. I love it when God reveals Himself during the ordinary routine of life and transforms it to the extra-ordinary. Thanks for sharing, I was blessed and encouraged.
