A Quiet Corner of Faith

I spent this morning clearing out a drawer I haven’t touched in years. It was full of old receipts, dried-up pens, and a few smooth stones I picked up on a hike back in college. I almost threw the stones away, thinking they were just clutter, but then I held one and remembered the exact feeling of the wind on that mountain. It wasn’t just a rock; it was a marker of a time when I felt completely still. We spend so much of our lives rushing to the next thing, filling our days with noise and tasks, that we forget to create spaces for the quiet parts of ourselves. We need those little anchors—a shelf, a corner, or even a pocket-sized stone—to remind us that there is something deeper than the schedule we keep. When was the last time you set aside a space just to breathe and be reminded of what you truly believe in?

Faisal Khan has captured this feeling perfectly in his image titled The Altar. It serves as a beautiful reminder of how we all find our own ways to pause and connect. Does this image spark a memory of a place where you feel most at peace?
