Gently Return to the Center
Solitude is a way to get a little control over our own inner life. It’s not easy. Once we start spending time alone, we discover how chaotic our minds are. We start thinking about thousands of other things – what we should do, whom we are mad at. If these thoughts come up, gently return to the center. Gradually if you really discover, for instance, that the Lord is your shepherd, you might be able to let go of a few things and be a lot more at peace. You don’t have to be filled with garbage. You can be more centered.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
- Psalm 23: 1
Reflection Question: How will you make space to become more centered today
