“Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God”
Apparently this was the last tweet Maya Angelou sent out before she passed away.
What a beautiful woman, who has said and written many beautiful things over the many years of her life here on earth.
I don’t think we appreciate quietude enough, or realize the profound things we can hear, and the direct conversations we can have with God where we can find solutions to many of our life’s challenges.
Sometimes we just need to sit with our thoughts and leave room for inspiration.
I hear you and will say that I am still sure though what I would do if it were indeed quiet here – seriously quiet is hard to come by with my gang 🙂

I totally agree – I feel like as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten better at just being still and quiet but I still don’t do it very often.

I’ve been fitting in meditation into my mornings for over a month now and it’s really made a difference in my focus and my overall day (I’ve done it in the past, but not on a regular basis). I’m sorry the world lost Maya Angelou–I think she had such a nice presence about her. Oprah was saying that she was like a mother to her and that Maya had a way of making people feel like they were her favorites. Even though she had no favorites, each felt special in her eyes. That’s a wonderful gift to give to others–the gift of your presence, love, and attention. That’s what I work on each day–in my work and in my personal life.

So true. I need to find more time for quietness. This quote is a beautiful reminder.
