Quiet

"Make a place to sit down. Sit down. Be quiet."  ~Wendell Berry                                                 

Find
A quiet place
A quiet spot
A quiet time
to sit quietly and just listen…
the flowers giggling
the winds whispering
the mountains and the seas
humming in unison;

Shhh, be quiet! Listen…

the spirits of the universe
are trying to speak to you.
