Just Be

Posted on August 11, 2022August 11, 2022 by granttaylor311

Sometimes you just need to flop on your couch and just be
There’s deep processing that needs space to take place
Creativity needs air
Creativity needs a horizon line
A view with no end, longer than a designated time slot
It breathes and blooms quietly and beautifully when it’s uninterrupted and it’s horizon stretches and stretches
A good conversation with a friend
A treasured night spent talking like old times
An adventure to dream of
Reflection of the past couple of months and the life lived in them that could pass for years
These moments hold weight
Divine weight
Gold
Sadness
Truth
Great joy
These moments that hold so much deserve so much more than just a moment
Sometimes we must hold a moment for longer than a moment
And that’s OK
Because the world often asks us to move on too quickly
The truth to remember is it does not require it
What’s next and how it will all turn out and what will come to pass and who we will
become tomorrow and what we will make of the next day and where we will find ourselves going – we can hold a moment for longer than a moment first
Jesus sought solitude
How does a man with the most stressful role to play in all humanity
Who must be everything to everyone
Who must walk and lead the impossible life
Who will be chastised and brutalized
Who knows He will soon die
How does that man find peace?
Alone
In the wilderness
In the quiet
In the stillness
With God
Holding a moment for longer than a moment
In the right now and not yet

Sometimes you need room
Room to just be
