Serenity
Yesterday i sat and stared at the sky, as i often do. There is Nothing more Beautiful to me like the sky:) The Clouds, the Sun, the Moon All things Up there. Operating at their own pace without any help. A constant reminder of the the Reality that God is real! I Marveled at the Artistry of the view that had me Captivated. I watched how the sky like a Giant paint brush created new images smoothly transitioning from one slide to another. Colours intertwining and changing from clear blue skies to bright red burnt oranges and yellows to a deep brown and then finally to darkness. To best describe what i felt would be to compare it to Mozart's Srenenade #13 in G, K525, "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"- Romanze Adante
Every time i hear this Piece i feel Calmness, Tranquillity...
and amidst the craziness of the day....
..for a few hours i drifted, Somewhat drowned in the view
and somehow faded completely in the beauty of the sky....
I sat in utter Silence as i am now and stared.... I felt Peace come All over me and all the busyness of everyday stuff was gone momentarily. I felt Truly content with who i was in the space i was was in..... They say.... You are who you are when you are alone..... Maybe today i found myself again.... :)
As i sit, in complete darkness typing this with only the view of the sky and the artificial lighting of the beautiful Mother City lights, i'm reminded of a childhood prayer we used to pray at St. Thomas Aquinas Witbank Convent School. Not just the first few lines but the whole prayer.

God
grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did,
this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.
Today i think i Understand Serenity.......
