I've just come across this video featuring Ram Dass and I had to share it.

Be Still
On Monday whilst doing voluntary work at my local Hospice I went and sat in the quiet room and began to meditate (the quiet room is where people can go and light a candle for their loved ones, or can write a prayer on a small piece of paper in the shape of a leaf and hang it on the prayer tree, or people can simply sit in silence).
It is the latter that I chose to do. During the silence I had an urge to pick up a copy of the New Testament and Psalms and look at the contents. Straight away I saw something to do with death, looked to see what page it was on and began to flick through the pages. When I got to the appropriate page there was a small piece of paper placed there (a bit smaller than a postcard) and on it it said, 'Be still and know that I am God'.
Interesting.
All is well.
