A comment was made to me this weekend in passing that I heard in passing...until this afternoon when the words resonated in my mind. 

.

"I don't pray for anything specific, He knows what I need so I just let it be and let Him do what He is going to do with me."

.

So profound yet so simple in concept.  To LET GO.  To LET IT BE.  The power of unadulterated faith. The ultimate movement into stillness!  This is where information is gathered, knowledge held deep within and answers are found.  In stillness.

.

An article posted in January's Shambhala Sun speaks to this as author, Ram Dass is interviewed on loving and letting go, in "Be Love Now".  When asked how he defined the words faith and grace, Ram Dass simply stated:

.

 "Faith is not belief.  Belief is up here (taps temple), and faith is down here (taps heart).  Faith means you let other planes of consciousness in, for example, serendipity or things in your life that are not rational.  You say, Come on, come on.  Grace is lubricating the well, the way.  It's the way...God makes...life graceful."

.

This is the secret....to let go, live in faith and let God work His plan on the universe in the perfect way it is intended.  Stillness is the medium to finding answers - answers to who we are, how to love and who we are meant to be.  Perhaps, this stillness is the means Katherine discovered herself as an 18th Century healer aboard a pirate ship in the Caribbean.  Perhaps this is the way we can discover who lies inside of us as well.   Something to meditate on...
