When the noise of the world becomes so loud that you can’t hear the voice of your heart, be still.
When confusion drowns out sensibility and order, be still.
When chaos emerges all around you and you don’t know what you think or what to think, be still.
When it’s time to choose between what’s right and what they say is right and you don’t know what to do, be still.
Be still and wait for that peace which passes all understanding to come to you. It always will.
These past weeks have been difficult for us all. There has been so much hate, anger, violence, confusion, murder, anguish, grief, hurt, pain, just…mayhem.
It’s important to own your feelings, feel your emotions, and not try to suppress them. There’s no need to ‘be strong’ or ‘hold it together’. That causes illness, stress, migraines, and ill will. So if you have to shout, scream, rant, journal, post, or seek wise counsel – do so. Express yourself! Process your emotions. It’s best to process them responsibly and seek to forgive, so bitterness doesn’t take root in your heart.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you accept the behavior or you’re okay with what occurred. Forgiveness is for you; for your well-being.
Whether you forgive or not, the other person is largely unaffected. I’ve heard unforgiveness is like you drinking poison expecting the other person to die. It eats you up on the inside.
Believe me, those offenders will reap what they sow. It’s the law of the universe – you don’t have to worry about it AT ALL!
Meanwhile, you do the things that bring you joy and peace. Surround yourself with love. Hug someone, take a nature walk, sit by a body of water, and breathe. Pray, meditate, chant, write, draw, paint, sing, dance – create. Do whatever you can to redirect the energy.
And yes, love. Love yourself and love those dear to you. Make sure they know you love them. It may be just what THEY need to bring their joy back.
I’m so grateful for you. We can get through this…together.
Love,
Robin ❤️

Fantastic post! Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day routine of life that we often forget we need to be still sometimes in order to get the full understanding and enjoyment from things in and around us, and we also tend to forget the power of peace and love. Much needed post.
