Daily Reflection – Humbleness in Silence
I rose at 4:00 this morning, and by 4:10 I was already on my yoga mat. My breath came slower, deeper, filling the body with presence. The first name that entered my spirit was Iye Moja, the mother of waters. Then came Rumila, the bringer of wisdom, and finally Olodumare, the Supreme. I prayed into my muscles, into my whole being, and let my body become a prayer.
After meditation and yoga, I went to Sacred Sacrament Church. The reading from St. Paul to Timothy carried me further along this path of discipline and devotion. I have been going to church every single day, Sunday to Sunday, and each day continues to show me something new about faith and patience.
As the day unfolded, the word that stayed with me was humbleness. Again and again, it echoed like a teaching. And then another phrase came: “God is silent.” That silence reminded me that God does not always answer with noise, but with stillness — a silence that allows me to listen, observe, and learn.
Tonight I was reminded of how strong ego can be. Ego tries to convince us to fight, to argue, to prove. But humbleness is greater — humbleness allows me to simply be, to observe, and to keep my peace. What I am learning now is not to prove myself, not to share from pride, but to teach with humility and live as an example.
I see more clearly that my path is unique: yoga, running, prayer, discipline, silence. These have carried me beyond sickness, beyond struggle, into peace. My work now is to embody this peace and to let my life itself become the teaching.
Today’s lesson: true teaching begins with humbleness, and true faith begins in silence.
