In the Quiet, I Remember Who I Am

There is a quiet that arrives after a long season of effort — a kind of stillness that isn’t empty, but full. Full of understanding, of integration, of everything I’ve lived through settling into its right place.

For a long time I moved through life trying to make sense of each moment in real time, trying to understand, trying to push forward, trying to hold it all together with my bare hands. But now I am here, in a gentle calm, looking back without resistance. There is nothing to fight. Nothing to force. Nothing to fix.

I am at peace.

It’s not a loud peace. It doesn’t announce itself or demand to be seen. It simply is. It sits with me in the morning, in the quiet hours before the world wakes. It walks with me when I step outside and feel the air on my skin. It rests in my chest like a soft weight — grounding, steady, true.

Right now, I don’t need inspiration or advice or direction. I don’t need answers. I’m not searching. I’m listening.

There is a wisdom that only comes when we stop trying to create meaning and allow meaning to reveal itself. There is clarity that only rises when we stop stirring the water. There is a timing to things that has nothing to do with our timelines or expectations.

I am trusting that.

This moment — this pause — is part of the becoming. Not a step backward. Not stagnation. Simply space. The kind of space where the next chapter forms without pressure. Where guidance arrives in its own time. Where God meets me in the quiet.

I don’t know what is next yet. And that feels okay.

Right now, I am breathing. I am softening. I am allowing. I am learning to receive.

And maybe, if you are reading this, you are in your own quiet too.

If so — let it be.
Let the dust settle.
Let silence have you.
Everything meant for you will find you.
