“Let It Be” (The Beatles)
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
For your consideration……
You know how I love to be given a song to identify the day’s message. However, sometimes I only get a title or a few words and have to search. Not so today. I know this song. I feel this song.
Our answers….all the answers we seek….are whispered silently to us. There is no big heavenly conspiracy. God and all of the Guidance he provides is an open book. All our answers, HOPEs and dreams are right there in the silence. Divine Guidance and Divine Timing are all right there in the silence.
I often say to my students when they are working together, “The only person who should be able to hear you is the person next to you otherwise we start to shout over one another.”
Sometimes our Guidance shouts out to us to try to get our attention but usually we hear it in the silence. It is in the silence where we are able to hear what it sounds and train ourselves to always hear it no matter the circumstance.
Get silent and let it be so.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE actions steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray….ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Be still and listen.
What made me smile yesterday……
-I managed to avoid the rain. It only rained when I was safely inside….just like magic.
-Some beautiful artwork.
-I got all the way home and realized I had to go all of the way back to school because I had left my phone. The good news is even though it was Friday, people were still there to let me back in.
-SKYPing with Alex and great pictures on Facebook.
-A late night catch up with Cathy. See time differences can be good when sleep is elusive.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
