Forgive the Quiet

I've been quiet. For quite awhile. And with no warning. Please forgive the quiet. I've been faced with a crisis of sorts, though "crisis" sounds a bit trite for what I'm experiencing. I might instead call it a wounding. It's surprising to me (though maybe it shouldn't be) how vulnerable to wounding we all are.

So I have been quiet. And I'm waiting. For Wisdom to surface. For Grace to fall. For that Still Small Voice to lead.

I'm not writing to evoke sympathy, rather to offer an explanation. The Silent Isle will need to be quiet a bit longer. But not forever. I'm hopeful, too.

Thank you, dear friends.

Anna

  4. I'm sorry. I understand those times when words just won't come ... or won't come well. I hope your heart feels better soon. I was wondering about the quiet. I hope you find peace in the stillness.<3 Love you and love your spirit.
