Christian Guided Meditation | Relaxing Christian Meditation for Sleep ...

When the mind stops, blank without thought, It goes to a place of sanity sought. For sanity is to chaos’ distain, That place where silence and calm are gain. It’s from this place of quiet and calm, That peace can bring a healing balm. As soothing as a soft cool breeze, This time of peace will surely please. It’s here when lavished in such pleasure, One gets a grasp of life’s measure. This may not be the only way, But it is available most any day. Here a new direction the mind will seek, A way to live well and be unique.

I get there from time to time in prayer, meditation, or even dreams sometimes. I always want to just remain there in the mental or spiritual state. Life is hard, as I approach the end of my time here on Earth. Thanks for the visit and comments, Arthur. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

I agree...that level of inner peace and tranquility is available most any time. Perhaps it's a matter of habit in clearing one's mind allowing peace to flow into body and mind? Thought provoking poem, dear hubby...from the east side writing establishment :-)

Thank you for your thoughts on my poetry, Sara. I do believe it has a lot to do with a person's mind set, how they view life in general, whether positively and in the negative. Thanks for your support, my very best friend, and my favorite! :-) Have a pleasant Easter weekend. Your westside writing bear. Bill

Hey Bill.. Your poem beautifully captures the transformative power of finding peace and tranquillity within oneself. The imagery of the mind finding solace in a place of quiet and calm evokes a sense of serenity and inner stillness. The poet highlights the contrast between chaos and sanity, emphasizing the importance of embracing moments of silence as a means of finding clarity and perspective.

Wonderfully dwelling in sanctity of silence and calm---your thoughts show the way to a solemn place, my friend.

It's a safety mechanism for when our minds go into overload, I often just shut my eyes and just think of a happy place, it works everytime. Hope you're keeping well Bill and a very happy Easter to you and Sara. Tom

Thanks, John ... I was there 1969 -1970, not a good place to be, but glad I made it back alive and somewhat well. Have a great weekend, my friend. Bill
