SUPPLY THE NEED
The value of quiet,
and a quiet place,
where the body and
depleted soul
can droop in privacy;
free of stressed surroundings,
ready to be replenished.
We are a dry well sensing
peace beginning to trickle
in… this is invaluable.
Perhaps a gushing will come
now and then,
but a meandering little stream
will supply the need now.
Stop, look for it, go,
then wait…
In the absence of tumult
that still Presence
will level your being.
(joy—joy—joy)
Once,
again, and again,
world without end.
Ruth C. Rehberg lives with her family in the hills of western Wisconsin,
daily reveling in the bounty of beauty around her Garden Valley home.
Some of her happiest moments involve walking the roads and woods,
scooting on her petunia-pink moped, porch-sitting every minute possible,
breathing in the joy of the twilight-golden hour, and reading until her
eyes can’t stay open.
Gratitude to God for the beauty of the earth is her life’s work.
