The snowdrop needs little introduction except that the sight of this little flower is always a delight during the month of January. It reminds us that while winter is not quite over yet, its end is indeed very near.

‘The problem we have living in this hurly-burly world is that there seems to be no quiet place where we can listen to God speaking softly inside the depths of our soul. Day after day we are grasping at this or that so that we might be secure and always failing because everything we grasp is as transient as we are.’ ~Donald Burt

It’s well known about the hectic pace of life. We read about it, hear about it, talk about and yet the hectic pace remains the same. But it’s not going to change just for you or me. We must make such a change happen for ourselves. First and foremost we have to make it a priority to create some quiet time for ourselves. Any quiet time is healthy, important, relaxing and also sacred. It is sacred because God can be an important part of any quiet time if we so choose. If we are open to God in our lives, then God will always choose the quietest moment to make the biggest impact. Can I make any quiet moment in my life today or this weekend?
