A search for clarity in Silence

Audaciously I look forward to the future
with knowledge of the past
Adhering to the ancient echoes
Do not move to fast
or you will cry more than laugh

So take a moment to have a moment
desiring to be wrapped up in the moment
Just listening in the moment
that may provide clarity…

Note: A message to myself about the directions that are before me, after completing my Master’s program. There are several avenues I could take. My mind is in overload. So I need to quiet it and see what is whispered in my mind, dropped in my spirit and rises from my heart. Then move in faith with the God given ability I possess! So, I will not rush but soak in the accomplishment and listen!

Question: Are any of you in the middle of a transition that have several roads that could be taken! How are you dealing with making a decision about which one to initially travel?

  1. I am what feels like the never-ending transition! I don’t know that am handling well or not. I pray often, more than normal. I try to keep my routines, while pushing myself out my comfort zone a bit. I just keep taking steps forward with faith that God will lay my foundation out in front of me.

  6. Congratulations on completing your Masters! A great accomplishment and celebrations – so wonderful to soak in the joy of Here Now! I remember feeling that way, in transition and multiple pathways calling, it can get very noisy if trying to think through. I agree with your wisdom of taking the time, and silence to allow spirit’s whispers to guide you. I have now found myself settled on 2 prominent pathways, the focus alternates from one to the other, again as guided by spirit.

  7. Your two-stanza poem offered a gift to slow down, especially since I read them twice. 😁 A powerful write! I think it is very wise, Tony, to sit in the quiet and follow your intuition. ✨ Writing out pros and cons for each scenario is also helpful. How wonderful to have many options. Best wishes to you as you step toward a new direction. Exciting!

  12. I am not in much of a transition now, but I was once at a great transition to move 900 miles to start my Masters program, and see if an old relationship could work out. Many told me that I had a secure job and a house with a low payment and I should stay put, or move near my family of origin. But instead of following my head, I followed my heart. Got my new degree which led to exciting career opportunities and the relationship – well, we had two lovely daughters and will celebrate 33 years together this month. I would suggest – listen to your heart (and a move toward adventure doesn’t hurt!).
