Power of Stillness


 

Power of Stillness

Stillness is sacred. It is the sure way to tap into Divinity. No longer will you depend on the running commentary that dominates the mind. It is that point when the present, past, and future are One. It is Now. But it takes practice to learn to quiet the mind. People who accomplish this task are conscious. They know how to be One with their environment. A thinking mind that is unconscious goes out of the window, and there is a spiritual awakening.

53 rd Wedding Anniversary Today, June 13, 2023 is the 53 rd Wedding Anniversary of Erwin & Mary Thomas. Below is the tribute written by our son Matthew & daughter-in-law Shannon on our 50 th that is worth repeating on this occasion.  50 th Wedding Anniversary Tribute Fifty years ago, today my parents were married. Three years and one day before their wedding, the Supreme Court struck down laws banning interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia.

The Fair Housing Act passed in 1968. This happened in 1980. This is just one of their experiences of discrimination over decades of marriage. I would not exist without a landmark court decision. I was born and raised in a loving home by parents who e
