Quiet in the Storm

Find Your Quiet in the Storm - from Etheric Echoes 

“Some days, the world feels too sharp,

Too loud, too raw to touch.

Headlines scream, phones ring,

And chaos dances at our doorstep.

But I've learned to find sanctuary

In small moments of grace—

The way sunlight paints shadows on walls,

How wind whispers through leaves,

The steady rhythm of my own breath

When I remember to just... breathe.

I've learned to turn off the noise,

To silence the endless chatter,

To find strength in gentle things—

A cup of coffee at dawn,

A moment of kindness between strangers,

The quiet courage of growing things.

They say the world's gone mad,

But perhaps the secret is knowing

When to step away from the storm,

When to guard your peace like gold,

When to let your heart be still

In a world that never stops spinning.

For in this rush of endless moments,

We must remember to be gentle

With ourselves, with each other,

To find beauty in broken places,

To create spaces of quiet wonder

In corners of our own making.

This is how we stay whole—

Not by hardening our hearts,

But by knowing when to soften,

When to rest, when to breathe,

When to let the world's noise fade

Into the background of our being.“

“We cannot serve two masters nor perceive divine Science with the material senses.”

Mary Baker Eddy - Science and Health Page 167:11-12

“Conflicting wishes cannot be my will. Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible, Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.

“And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God’s, in recognition that they are the same.”
