Letter 4436
The events of the morning drove me to rush out my door and into the world, acting and speaking and doing. Before I knew it, a storm surrounded me that I had created.
Had I held back, and spoken less, there would have been more light and space.
❖
Let me hold my peace, Lord, and go slowly where I would rush. Guide me.
Consider:
Can I wait?
