God's Slow Pace


It has been a while since I've blogged. I have started to write a couple of times, but was interrupted and never finished. Somehow Spring has folded into Summer while I have been too busy to be interrupted.

I steal moments on the veranda and pretend to be lazy as the world rushes by in car and motorcycle. I want the buzzing of insects to lull me into stillness so I can just be, and be reminded that the spirit can be quickened when the body slows down. Stillness can sink in like the heat and the humidity enters with each breath. God moves with the grace and majesty of the earth pushing forth green life. Sometimes I can slow my body down enough to catch up with God's pace - and be struck - and experience what I am too busy to see.
