"Be still and know that I am God." (Ps. 46:10)
What wondrous and deep words... so many meanings unfold through them, big like a Universe!
Stalled in awe.

like a little child
My tiny infant daughter, when I'm coming to her crib in the morning, first she's intently watching whether I'd come to her or just walk by. When she realizes I come to her - she smiles so happily and claps with her little hands. :) So even if she woke me up early, that melts my heart into pure joy.
But I also thought today: that should be our attitude to our Lord - just like a little child, full of love toward the parent and empty of self.

everybody knows
Listened yesterday with my son, while in the car, to Leonard Cohen. His songs are usually sad and slow, not the type my extra-energy 7 year old would typically like. Suddenly, while the first song - "Everybody Knows" - has not yet finished, he asked to go back and play it again when it's over. To my surprise and delight, needless to say.
He was listening intently, and then later said that what Leonard sings in that song doesn't make sense. I asked "why?", and he explained: "he sings: everybody knows the war is over, and the good guys lost - that doesn't make sense".
Does it?
I love my son and Mr. Cohen. "Everybody knows that's how it goes, everybody knows..."
