Did you notice the sound today? Our hearts pumping blood through our veins, air coming in and out of our nostrils, our being put on our skin, our teeth chewing our food, our nails scratching an itch. Do you hear their rhythm today? Did you pay attention to which ones were louder or quieter? Every facet of our lives seems to have a rhythm to it. Some of it is so subtle that we can barely heart it. Some of it we just take for granted and don’t notice any more. If this body we inhabit has all these sounds going on that we are oblivious to, what else in our lives have we tuned out? What other rhythms and patterns are creating the soundtrack of our lives. Even the silence has its own rhythm. I remember one night on a retreat many years ago where in the stillness of the mountain I could hear the blood pumping though my veins and it was so loud, it was almost disturbing. Yet I also sensed it was what united me with all of nature that I was presently standing in. It was like an invitation to dance right there on the mountain top. What rhythms might we be able to tune into if we asked God to open our ears and our awareness to them? What soundtracks of our lives could we be dancing to right this moment?
Be of Sound!
on December 15, 2015My prayer for us is the courage to awaken and tune into the subtle sounds of our life that we have drowned out today and see what rhythms God wants us to dance to.
Are you willing to listen to the soundtrack of your life and find out if there are any new dances that God wants to teach you today? Share in the comments.
