Psalm 46: Seek the Stillness

My eyes bear witness

to the horror before me:

the shifting earth,

the crumbling buildings.

I hear the screeches of terror.

 

I close my eyes

and the world melts away.

I retreat to the centre;

to the ground of my being—

the ground of all being.

 

And there all is still.

And there all is silent.

There chaos turns to peace.

There death turns to life.

Waiting there is God.
