Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
We yield, and we realize God has wrought something in us, and that the wings of our souls have learned to beat the upper air. — Anonymous
Where are our resting places? Where are the free spaces where we find nurturing and peace? For some of us, it is within ourselves: a place where we live quietly, engaged in inarticulate creation. We go to that silent space because we are safe there. We find what we need to be replenished until we are ready to go into the world again.
For some of us, the resting places are primarily outside ourselves: the earth, the sea, the mountains. We call this “getting away from it all,” but it’s really going to something we need as much as we need air and food. We all will find a resting place in anything to which our hearts call us: music, a journal, books on recovery, solitude. We all need sanctuary, time to be recreated, time to become reconnected to who we truly are.
Within my solitary sanctuary, my Higher Power is always with me.
