God at the center
While on a spiritual retreat in New Brunswick, I was sitting on the beach. It was not nice and sandy but was full of very smooth rocks of various shapes and colors brought up by the world's highest tides of the Bay of Fundy. I got the idea to pile them up like the Inuit statues. It was a tough task as you had to find the exact center of the rock to place the next one on it or else the pile would topple. It took me many times and some patience to create my stack. As I did it, I was very much aware of the different colors of the rocks - gray, red, green, black etc. These represented the different events in my life. And the thought came to me that as I stack up the events of my life, I need to make that center balancing line to be God -so each would stack up in line with Him. The song rang through my head that I had listened to frequently the week before "Be the center of my soul.." I could explain my thoughts further but I think you can fill in the thoughts as I have - Is God the center of my soul and my life events?
