Rebuilding Quietly

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Not all rebuilding begins with hammers ,some begins with the choice to stand still and listen.

There is a silence that settles after the last echoes fade, not the hush of peace, but the stillness of a place deciding what it will become.

The rebuilding does not announce itself.

It starts in small, almost invisible ways: a stone set back in place without thinking, a path cleared because your feet naturally follow it, a breath drawn without the weight you’ve been carrying for months.

No one stands in a circle to mark the moment. There are no blueprints, no fanfare, no clear signal that now is the time to begin again. The work starts inside , in the soft decision to believe in the ground beneath you, even if it’s still damp from the storm.

And perhaps the most surprising thing is this: sometimes the first piece you set in place is not for shelter at all. It’s for beauty, a reminder that what is worth living for has survived, even here, even now.

Rebuilding is not about erasing what happened. The lines are still there, the cracks still visible, the ground still bearing the shape of loss. But within those shapes, there is space for new roots to find their way down.

This series moves through the storm’s rise, its breaking, and the quiet work that follows. What comes next will not be the same as what was lost but it may hold a strength that only comes from having been rebuilt.

  2. Very beautiful and profound piece, Kerri. It’s not so much how it happens that matters, but that it does. Loved how you ended: “But within those shapes, there is space for new roots to find their way down.” A lot to reflect on here. Thank you for these wise and inspiring words. A precious read. With appreciation, sending you light and blessings, my friend 🙏 🌟 🌈

  3. God often meets us in the stillness, not always with answers, but always with His presence. Rebuilding with Him begins in the heart, and His grace fills every crack with hope.

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
