The Opposite of Me

"Often, at the height of our impatience, we say and do things that aren't as powerful as our absence or our silence would be....

In our own lives, so many times we underestimate the hand of God to work in our silence. Once we bravely step forward and lovingly confront, the temptation to repeat a confrontation can seem too strong to ignore, especially if we are so impatient we're pulling out our hair. However, simply stating the truth and then quietly withdrawing usually work together to create a powerful change in situation and thought, which many times lead to a satisfying resolution...

...the resolution might mean accepting that an exasperating person will never change and that it's perfectly fine to keep a healthy distance in order to maintain our sanity; or, if our sanity is no longer a possibility, at least to maintain a peaceful life." - Smith

Today's Silver Lining: Silence is Golden.

Engraved

A silvery trail upon my skin
Light catching beautifully written feelings
Strength beyond possibility
Beauty discovered and revealed
Confidence unveiled
Beliefs gently engraving my skin

Today's Silver Lining: You...forever written upon me.
