Description

There was a peaceful stillness down by the lake last night… as I watched and waited for sunset. Peaceful even when the stillness was interrupted by a pair of noisy ducks flying by. The pounding wings and loud squawks seemed to reverberate under the blanket of quietness… even though the sounds belonged there.

Quote of the Day: “When you sit in silence long enough, you learn that silence has a motion. It glides over you without shape or form, exactly like water. And silence has a sound you hear only after hours of wading inside it. The sound is soft, like flute notes rising up, like the words of glass speaking. Then there comes a point when you must shatter the blindness of its words, the blindness of its light.” –Anne Spollen
