meditations




there were
prayers and 
meditations.


watching,
I whispered
to my 
curious soul, 
"be silent."

  4. Oh my .. silence although vital is so very difficult to achieve with a busy mind like mine. Here's a quote I found about silence:
    It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
