Contemplation Is Part Of Life

Saturday, July 18, 2015 15:05

Contemplation is part of the human experience that is overlooked by many as they rush through life. We all need to have moments in our lives where we can breathe and bask in the wonder of life. This is not complicated or so esoteric that it is beyond the average person. Admittedly I grew up with the idea that the contemplative experience was rare and few received the gift. I have since learned that we all have the capacity for contemplation. It can be as simple as taking a few minutes to gaze at a full moon or a beautiful sunset. It can be a moment of silence in a busy day or a weekend retreat. To be contemplative the only basic requirements are to be awake and aware. A big part of being contemplative is having a sense of wonder. When you can no longer be impressed, when you have lost your sense of awe, when nothing makes you go “wow”!, it is time to re-evaluate your life. Wonder, awe, gratitude, and being “wowed” from time to time should be a regular part of your life. There is much in life that is ugly. There is much to make us cynical and pessimistic. Contemplation is an antidote for these things. It is the quiet moments of life that give us what we need to deal with all the other moments that may test us or make us crazy. Many of us do not have the luxury of going on an extended retreat, or even having a weekend to ourselves, but we all have moments in our day when we can take a few minutes for the pause that refreshes. I encourage all of you to be on lookout for such moments and to take advantage of them. If you do I believe you will begin to experience a sense of calm in your life that you may not have now. Let me share some words taken from Psalm 46 that may help you to find this calm.

Be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am.

Be still and know.

Be still.

Be.
