Stillness

The Sacred Sound of Stillness
I almost reached for my phone this morning.

Not for a call. Not to text anyone. I just… reached.

For noise.

For the next thing.
For a headline.
For a buzz.
For a scroll that would numb my restlessness.

But I didn’t. I stopped.

And I sat still.

The stillness was awkward. Uncomfortable.
But also… holy.

Thomas Merton once said, “The world of men has forgotten the joys of silence, the peace of solitude which is necessary... for the fullness of human living.”

Stillness is not empty.
Stillness is where God whispers.

In our fast-scrolling, over-booked, endlessly divided culture — stillness is resistance.
It’s where reconnection starts.

Stillness can feel like absence. But maybe it's presence — undistracted, divine, and available to you.

Scripture for Reflection

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

A Question for You

What’s one moment of stillness you can protect today — and what do you hope to hear in it?
