Learning to grow in silence can be hard. Sometimes we think all the action happens when our lives are spinning at a crazy pace. But we still grow in silence. It’s like a child doing most of his growing while asleep.
Or a brain learning when it’s allowed to be bored.
When WE are silent, the world doesn’t stop its own babbling. In the echoes of our human noise, we often miss how our world speaks to us, sings to us, even prays with us.
Maybe it’s because I am getting old, but I breathe better in the quiet.

David, Solomon and even Jesus speak from things they experienced in silence.
I guess when life or the world is busy, that’s our cue to be still and silent and pay attention.

Women mature and become a fine sophisticated glass of wine.
Men get old and become as curdled milk…

That’s funny. I tell people that my husband just gets better with age, “like a finely aged Dutch cheese.” 🤣 (He is European.)

I will say this, y’all have help. You have makeup and other things at your disposal.
Men, if we’re old and ugly, were stuck. We have no help 😂

Age just adds interest. Doesn’t make you ugly.
