I am a seeker.  I am always searching.  "For what?" you may ask.  I would have to answer that I am not exactly sure, but I like to tell myself that I am seeking ways to be closer to God, to grow spiritually and serve compassionately, to be healed and transformed.  I came to an abrupt stop the other day as I read Thomas Merton's words, "Sit still and be what one has become, which is what one does not know and does not need to know."   Those words deeply touched my heart and I continue to reflect on that statement.  I have stopped seeking and searching, at least for now and hope to continue my Advent journey with those words settling deeper into my heart and soul.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ~ Many blessings for a peace and joy filled Advent, Barb Kollenkark
