Do not see me amongst the crowd…let me fade into the scenery…

Do Not See Me

Do not see me amongst the crowd…

let me fade into the scenery.

I am not looking; I don’t want to be found.

For now I’m not the flower…I’m simply the greenery.

Do not see me when you pass me by;

I’ll just keep going, turning neither left, nor right.

Let me fade into the horizon that stretches out ahead.

The day is almost over; soon to come is the night.

Do not see me, please, it’s far too soon.

There is so much to do and to prepare.

Everything has a season, a time, and a place.

Trust me, when I’m ready…with you, I’ll be there.

”Do not see me” – now that’s kind of a strange thing to say.  One certainly cannot make himself invisible.  Nonetheless, we all have times in our lives when we simply do not want to be seen or heard for that matter.  We just want to slip away and be by ourselves to think, to rest…to “be.”

In today’s world, life can seem like just a long string of interruptions.  Between our cell phones ringing and dinging every five seconds, to those unexpected “events” rearing their not so appealing heads just at the wrong time, being “unseen” seems impossible…but it isn’t really.

”Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’  So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.”  Mark 6:31-32

Taking time to get away from the clamor of life is important.  We all need time to just be by ourselves, no matter who we are or what occupation we partake in.  In the scripture verse quoted above,  Jesus not only instructed his disciples, but he also set an wise example for us today, to do that very thing.  When life’s activities become overwhelming…when we are “seen” too much…that’s the time we need to step away and say, “do not see me.”

We all need time to rest, relax and renew.  No matter what it takes, be sure to do just that for “you.”

Peace and love,

A Quiet Time

Quiet Time

A quiet time is all I need to rest, refresh and renew.

“Oh that I had the wings of a dove; I would fly away and be at rest.”  Psalm 55:6

A Quiet Time

I need to get away, I need to rest.

A quiet time will spawn in me my best.

I need to stop and take a break…

a walk in the woods or a swim in a lake.

It doesn’t matter for how long, a day or a week;

it is just a quiet time; that is all I seek.

Too much busyness fills my days, to do, to do, to do.

A quiet time is all I need, to rest, refresh and renew!

Wishing you much rest today…and perhaps a chance to get way!

Peace and love,

On Solitude

On Solitude

on solitudeA Quote to Carry You

July 28, 2014

“And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.”  For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.”  Mark 6:31

It is not often that I get a chance just to sit still and be silent…to shut out the world and enter into a realm where there are no distractions, only luxuriant quietness.  I believe that solitude is essential to life.  It gives the body, mind and soul a chance to rekindle all that it loses during the busyness of our modern world.  When I get to experience even a small bit of solitude, it makes me feel transparent, as though when I close my eyes and breathe in the stillness of the moment…I have vanished and reappeared refreshed and renewed.

May you find some space for solitude today…refresh, restore, renew!

Peace and love,

Felecia
