still

"be still and acknowledge that I am God" Psalm 46:10
"these are words to take with us in our busy lives. We may think about stillness in contrast to our noisy world. But perhaps we can go further and keeep an inner stillness even while we carry on business, teach, work in construction, make music, or organize meetings.
It is important to keep a still place in the "marketplace." This still place is where God can dwell and speak to us. It also is the place from which we can speak in a healing way to all people we meet in our busy days. Without that still place we start spinning. We become driven people, running all over the place without much direction. But with that stillness God can be our gentle guide in everything we think, say or do." -Henri J.M. Nouwen
