29. Be Still
I recently saw an advertisement for a pendant. The quote on it was attributed to Thich Nhat Hanh and it said, “Be still and know.”
Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.”
This Buddhist monk from Vietnam reduces it to: Be still and know. And suddenly you have a slightly different message.
There are many times I experience frustration, anger, impatience. If, and it is a fairly big “if”, —if I will quiet myself and breathe, I can reach a more knowing place.
