Wandering aimlessly. The phrase never held much meaning to me.
That is, it didn't until last night when I actually experienced the feeling. The strange sensation of my feet moving with no direction.
The sense of not wanting to go inside but not wanting to stay still. Wanting to stop because I don't know where to go, but unable to stop moving.
Listlessly, aimlessly plodding along with no purpose or reason, just the need to walk.
Traveling helplessly, plodding purposelessly, wandering...aimlessly.
No sound but the peace of the night, the chill air biting my face.
Though strange, it was serene. Comfortable.
The perfect night for a wandering mind.
There is something about walking in the cool of the evening that is refreshing. Helped me think through things and even though I came to no answer, I felt better afterward.
Ironically, the verse that kept popping in my head during my walk was, "Be still and know I am God."
It made me realize the value of taking time out to be quiet and just listen. It is during the quietest moments that it is easiest to talk to God and find peace.
My aimless wandering in the stillness of the night ended up be one of the most peaceful moments I have had this semester.
Where do you find peace?
