This is the Way~

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Isaiah 30:21
I feel this verse in so many ways. It brings me back to the Camino, The Way. Markers guided my steps, but just as important was the clarity of mind that came from walking. There was a deep sense of trust in that clarity.
Now, with the first two weeks of the year behind me, I can see where I am being guided to listen rather than decide. That, in itself, has been a conscious choice.
As I listen, my inner world has grown quiet, even as the outside world continues to scream.
I’ve allowed myself to hear the voice that says, This is the way. Walk in it. Do not be afraid.
In these first fifteen days, stillness has spoken. What keeps showing up are aligned nudges. Small synchronicities I might have missed if I weren’t allowing myself to listen.
A sermon led me to a verse.
A lecture led me to a book.
A book led me to my friend.
And so it goes.
Whether I turn to the right or to the left,
this is the way.
