"Stillness"

 

The quiet sound of their grazing, the calmness of the marsh, the cloudless sky, the soft whistle of birds, the low buzz of a bee, the warmth of the late afternoon sun...stillness.

The stillness of a day can bring much, a calm soul, a new perspective, unbridled creativity, an answer to a question, an inner peace.  Sometimes the best medicine is an ample dose of silence.

"In silence I had found a place where I could hear the voice inside.   

I could sit in the sun and sip the sweetness of its cup.

I slowed down, reflected, and rested.  And I wanted more."
