meditations




there were
prayers and 
meditations.


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

    It's hard for my soul to be silent. Beautiful thought, Rick.

    Silence says so much prevents us from so much... but especially keeps us at peace and balanced..

    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.
