Finding that Still Small Voice

It’s a noisy world with lots of stressors wanting our attention, but there is a still small voice longing to be heard, so quiet yourself and listen.

I have a pendulum clock on a bookshelf near me.

Yesterday, I noticed the pendulum was swinging back and forth freely, but now it’s barely moving.

The only sound I can hear is a little ‘click’ sound coming from it.

In the background, a car passes by, an early bird Tui makes a small announcement to the day.

But is there silence in my brain?

Thoughts whirl. The usual ones.

My pendulum thoughts have begun to swing for another day.

Have you ever simply stopped and noticed the thoughts that seem to dominate the playground of your mind?

Some thoughts you have are so familiar that they have dug thinking tracks deep and wide into the physical networks of your brain.

In the noise, I long for a still, small voice.
