I'm sitting in Tucson at a coffee shop on Grant and Campbell. It's 3 AM and its finally quiet. I mean, really quiet. There isn't even that hum inside your head that you get after you listen to loud music. It's silent. And that is why I have headphones in with music going. I don't like the quiet. It scares me. It forces me to think, and I am prone to having an all too familiar episode of an "over analytical conversation with myself." But why give my mind the chance to rob me of hearing God's whispers in this wind.
I don't want to get bogged down with too much thought right now. I just want to point out the beauty of looking out into a city that is completely asleep. Knowing that in a couple of hours, life will begin its cycle once again. But for now, I sit in silence with my coffee and it is almost as if I have found the "Pause" button. While everything rests, I reel in my day, my thoughts, my prayers... myself. Who am I? I am a child of God. And right now... right this second... for the first time all day... I sit in peace together with God on my mind and in my heart. We are tuly blessed. Thank-you God for giving me the time to recognize your peace one more time. It is all that keeps me.
