When city life morphs into a cacophony of noises; splintered sounds levy a toll. And anxiety overshadows my reality; till I'm brought to the edge of tears, and need to step away from it all. So, I inevitably turn to nature's serene stillness; to recharge my spirit. I'm a people person, but, at times, I want to be alone with my thoughts; listening to the mountains speak in muted sounds of silence. Leaving my stress behind; I seek the isolation of camping in an unimaginably peaceful place of quietude, beauty, and solitude. And there, at night, the stars light up the sky, bathing me in celestial light; making me feel insignificant, yet fundamentally connected, somehow.

Interconnectedness is a big step along the path, Emile. Separateness is left behind and Oneness awaits ~ warmest congratulations on your win. A powerful and cogent write indeed.

Even a "people's person' needs silent stillness. Very beautifully written. Congratulations!

I can hear the "cacophony of noises" and the "quietude, beauty, and solitude" you so beautifully express within the splendid imagery you have penned. :)Paulette

Incredibly fine imaging, Emile, as usual. I especially can relate, for from time to time, I simply must go to the mountains. The mountains call...and I must go! Exceptional writing, my friend. Best of luck in the contest.
