Silence is the language of Eternity ...

The louder our world today is, the deeper God seems to remain in silence.
 Silence is the language of eternity; noise passes.
~ Gertrud von Le Fort

Be ...

Be Still and Know that I am God

Be Still and Know that I am

Be Still and Know

Be Still

Be

If music, visual images and nature are a pathway to "Be-ing" for you, listen and watch this video on Youtube called Be Still and Know That I Am God.  Thanks to The Celtic Christian Tradition on Facebook for finding this beautiful offering through which to encounter God in the stillness

Nature Moves in Silence

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.  ~Mother Teresa

Green Bird

Green Bird keeps watch over my Mandala Soul

Come Green Bird 
and soar deep within Me

I am hidden, 
Green Bird can you See Me?

From my perch 
in the Dogwood tree of our Mandala Soul, 
     I know your deepest longings ...

  Come Green Bird 
and soar deep within Me

Who will come forth 
from the edge of our Mandala Soul 
to challenge Me?


From my perch 
in the Dogwood tree of our Mandala Soul, 
     I know your deepest longings ...

What say you Green Bird?  
     I shall dance in the center of your BEing 
and simply BE

 Who will come forth
from the edge of our Mandala Soul 
to challenge Me?

I am hidden, 
Green Bird can you See Me?

What say you Green Bird?  
I shall dance in the center of your BEing 
and simply BE

Green Bird keeps watch over my Mandala Soul!

Here I am at St. Andrew's Retreat House in the Hood Canal area of  Washington for a Retreat called "Awakening the Creative Spirit" with Christine Valters Painter and Betsy Beckman of Abbey of the Arts.  I make this simple offering of the gentle opening of my own creative spirit ... a mandala and poetry!

Take the Link above to find many interesting offerings at Abbey of the Arts which will invite you to awaken your own creativity.  OR you can email me: Cindy Serio and I'd be happy to chat with you about the creative process and spiritual growth!
