Quiet

I heard something good today no big deal, it was simple, but it was nice and gave me hope. Then I wondered; does the bad know about this? Is it worried? Because a little bit of good with it's hope can cancel a lot of bad. Wars and crime and hate are trumpeted loudly, but you have to listen for the good. That's why I like the quiet.

Hey to you, Bob! This is an interesting piece, Bob...the quiet does have its own appeal. The soundlessness...the silence... perhaps a good time to connect? "War and crime and hate" make loud noises...but often make no sense. I imagine beneath all this ruckus, the gentle hearts cry out for this 'quiet'. This one's a mind probe...thank you for sharing this with us! :) God bless you and yours..love to you, Mikki
