Why is it that "quiet" and Heaven
seem to be describing one another?
You don't ever read
of noise or cacophony
and Heaven together.
Heaven is what Quiet Does.
Quiet is a singular
thought that calms fears,
brings you to your senses,
and stills activity.
Quiet prepares the heart
for listening and knowing.
Our true state, that eternal
joy called Heaven, must
be one of Quiet expectation
of God's grace.
The pregnant moment of promise
when the orchestra
is focused on the conductor
united in the inevitability of music.
The Holy Spirit is God's gift,
by which the quietness of
Heaven is restored
to God's beloved son.
About Me
- Sister Eva
- I have 48 years of stories to share: I am a mother of two daughters who constantly challenge me to be me; I am married to the first man I fell in love with (nearly 30 years ago); I own, with my partner, two businesses in the real and the virtual world; I have lived on four continents, lived across the street from a leader in the PLO, had tea with the Queen of England, met an angel in Germany, and still freak out when my 21yr old forgets to call and say she arrived safely at her destination. The truth is I am all of these things and none of them. My joy is being with those I love all of the time AND being in complete quiet with a book. My poetry is me trying to make sense of it all. What I really want to know is what we all share in common, what connects us at the core and does it hurt when we find out.
