Time of Stillness…
I often think God doesn’t know what to do with me. That I am defective cart wheel derailing His plan - the mindless embodiment of goo - a mere pebble in His shoe. Then I am reminded that I am not that special. I am not so special as to befuddle the Almighty, nor am I too difficult that I would have Him shrugging his shoulders in defeat, uttering “I don’t know what to tell ya.” Yes, much to my incredulousness, God is smarter and stronger than my ever-so human nature. He and He alone can claim victory over my life. It stands to reason that He, the Creator of All, certainly must know what to do with it - all of “it” - me, my life, my faults, my talents, my imperfections and my dreams. No, if there is one thing I have learned over the summer, it is that this “time of stillness” will not be the death of me. Jeremiah 29:11
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

- Huna blentyn yn fy mynwes
- Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
- Breichiau mam sy’n dynn amdanat,
- Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
- Ni cha’ dim amharu’th gyntun,
- Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
- Huna’n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
- Huna’n fwyn ar fron dy fam.
- Huna’n dawel, heno, huna,
- Huna’n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
- Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
- Gwenu’n dirion yn dy hun?
- Ai angylion fry sy’n gwenu,
- Arnat ti yn gwenu’n llon,
- Tithau’n gwenu’n ôl dan huno,
- Huno’n dawel ar fy mron?
- Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
- Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
- Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
- Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
- Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
- Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
- Gwena’n dawel yn fy mynwes
- Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.
- Translation:
- Sleep my baby, at my breast,
- ’Tis a mother’s arms round you.
- Make yourself a snug, warm nest.
- Feel my love forever new.
- Harm will not meet you in sleep,
- Hurt will always pass you by.
- Child beloved, always you’ll keep,
- In sleep gentle, mother’s breast nigh.
- Sleep in peace tonight, sleep,
- O sleep gently, what a sight.
- A smile I see in slumber deep,
- What visions make your face bright?
- Are the angels above smiling,
- At you in your peaceful rest?
- Are you beaming back while in
- Peaceful slumber on mother’s breast?
- Do not fear the sound, it’s a breeze
- Brushing leaves against the door.
- Do not dread the murmuring seas,
- Lonely waves washing the shore.
- Sleep child mine, there’s nothing here,
- While in slumber at my breast,
- Angels smiling, have no fear,
- Holy angels guard your rest.
African Windsong
Imba wimbo
Wa upepo
Wakati unajiwa na
Imba wimbo wa upepo
Wakati ndoto tamu
Lala mapaka usiku uisheni
Upepo wa usiku
Wimbo wanko na
Wimbo wangu inaendelea milele
English Translation
Sing a song
And for a moment
You will be visited by the wind
Sing a song
And for a moment
Dream sweetly of the wind
Sleep now until the night is dawn
The wind and the night song, they are there
However the song, my child, will go on forever.
- Mighty Joe Young

Slow down,
What’s on your mind?
It’s alright,
I’m on your side.
I hate to see your injury.
I wish you could transfer all your pain to me.
Stay here, it’s okay to cry.
Let me help you make it right.
Let’s turn up the radio.
Let the band remind you that you’re not alone.
We all get alone.
Even the brave they depend on someone
The moon only shines with the help of sun
And it’s not as safe when you’re walking alone
I’ll walk you home.
Sun’s out but it feels like rain.
So I will illuminate your day.
I’m afraid I’m losing it.
What’s it gonna take for me to get through this?
We’ll get through this.
Even the brave they depend on someone
The moon only shines with the help of sun
And it’s not as safe when you’re walking alone
I’ll walk you home
I’ll walk you home.
Need the band to play the song,
Someone sent to keep you strong,
It’s harder when you’re on your own,
Success is not the same alone,
Can’t have up without the down,
Need the strength to have the round,
I’ll provide the harmony,
Your song is best to company.
Even the brave they depend on someone
The moon only shines with the help of sun
And it’s not as safe when you’re walking alone
I’ll walk you home
I’ll walk you home
I’ll walk you home.
~ “Walk You Home” by Karmina
