Glad you are feeling better these days :) Yes, illness can certainly give us that time in silence, to go deeper into the inner sanctuary and listen... And like you, I am needing a daily time of intentional Silence. It's very refreshing, and certainly refocuses and reconnects us to what's important in life. I like your phrase: "windows of contemplation." :) Hugs back...Mystic Meanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746429719911446865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905400852427551541.post-12696089180831164132013-11-01T06:02:47.522-06:002013-11-01T06:02:47.522-06:00Such tender heart-musings, Christine.

Health issues in recent months presented me with time to slow down, refocus, etc. Bodily it was a hard time, spiritually it was incredibly good. So good I need to sit in silence with it all still. The words & art are there, yet I'm slow to giving them outward manifestations. I find myself just wanting to share a visual more than my writing at the moment. I realized--that's all good too. I posted at my place for the first time in weeks, and it felt Ok, sweet even. I especially like your use of "contemplative spirituality" as I too seek the silence and communion with the Divine. This has to be a daily thing, I try to carve out time for this. To live this. It's not always easy, especially in the very ACTIVE world we live in. It is quite something to stop, to intentionally be silent--to "be still and know". LOVELY photo image you share here today too. It has the change of autumn in it. It is easy to gravitate to autumn colors just now. The leaves are going fast here. And last weekend we changed the clocks back. This week I pay special attentiong to the changing qualities of the light. It's nice to back in blogland and catching up with everyone. I hope to be around more when I can, now I'm doing better--I'm online a little less still these days. The less technology is not a bad things.. LOL! Wishng you windows of contemplation throughout your days... ((HUGS))<br />Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.com
