The race was on, and from the beginning of the walk, I seemed to be, hmmm, falling behind, but holding my own. And so I was just plodding along, finally realizing that everyone else was no longer in sight, and I’m thinking, oh I better hurry, better hurry……
Funny how things happen, because suddenly I wasn’t racing any more…….if I had kept racing, I never would have stopped and noticed how absolutely stunning and beautiful the path was, that I was on. I just had to stop, and take a picture, it was so beautiful, and there was something so absolutely stunning and calm about that picture, but I couldn’t put my finger on what it was. There was something about the rush and excitement of racing along with everyone that was wonderful, but when I stopped racing, I noticed a beauty I never would have seen.
For days now, every time I look at this picture, I keep wondering why I keep thinking these same words over and over again: “In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” It turns out these words are from one of my favourite books in the Bible, the Book of Isaiah.
I finally get it. I used to be able to run the race, and I was strong, that was before HD. But now, if I just let myself be still, and be quiet, I can realize the beauty of the path that I am on now.
“In quietness and confidence shall be your strength” Isaiah 30:15
