Moment of Silence

You know what I miss?

The Moment of Silence that happened every day at school during announcements.

When it was put in my day for me, I feel like in general I gave a lot more thanks, asked for more forgiveness, and prayed more for those that needed it.

It's just like anything... you blog every day... your mind builds the muscle that looks for what to blog about each day.

You write music... you look at the world in new ways and try to observe it in ways that would be more meaningful and/or prolific in a song.

You pray for those that need it, you give thanks on a daily basis, you put positive vibes out there - it all generates MORE thoughts of prayer, good vibes, and thankfulness.

It makes doing that more present and conscious... more at the forefront of your thinking... more living in the moment.

I do all of these things daily. I pray, I write, I blog. But I wish I did more. Recently I realized that writing had gotten away from me. But why? No reason other than I wasn't spending time being PRESENT in music. But since I have noticed that, I have made a much more conscious effort to make sure I am being more thoughtful about the things that happen around me.

I'm going to instill the daily "Moment of Silence" back into my life. I'd be ok if it lasted much longer than a moment, though. At least on most days.

Psalm 19:14
"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, my Redeemer."


Peace. Love. Fiddle.
