Life at the Wee Cottage in the Woods.....Our memories can be a garden of delight as well as a garden of pain. Some days we walk through this garden and stop and enjoy those memories that bring us joy...that bring a smile to our hearts. Some days we pause at those moments that are painful...at the memories of things that have hurt us. Together these memories make up the tapestry of our life woven in rich colors as well as subdued colors. The overall effect is of who we are in this journey of life.
The purpose of this blog is to capture the garden of my life with photographs, inspirational quotes, stories of life, recipes of friends and family shared, and my own thoughts. This site is my legacy in my words and photos............. |

In the Silence
In the Silence, I find peace. In the Silence, I find Self.
Sunday, May 26, 2019
Rather than allow my mind to be easily swayed by outer circumstances, I look beyond appearances to the truth of my being. I do this by turning within to a place of peace—the Silence. As the words in Christian Healing remind readers, “To realize God, we must quiet our outer thoughts and enter into the stillness, peace, and harmony of Spirit.”
When I turn within to pray, any negative or limiting thoughts dissipate. Here in the Silence, I am one with Spirit.
In this conscious awareness of my higher power, I recognize my spiritual attributes that are mine through divine grace. Here I find the strength I seek, the love that sustains me, and the peace to soothe my soul. As I move back into my day, I take those elements with me. I am renewed in mind and heart.
Keep silence and hear, O Israel!—Deuteronomy 27:9
