So true, within stillness floats so much and more, i was watching this movie the other day on netflix, its a cartoon but so interesting and dreamy, and i thought of that as i read this, maybe you might like “ orion and the dark” was fun! And i must say i always say this too, silence speaks the loudest and in stillness wildest roams, if only we listen and lend our heart. We will know. Pleasure reading your deeply meaningful poems dear sweet sara! You are an inspiration poetic fairy

oh, Ink, your words were uplifting. Thanks for sharing. I agree that silence speaks the loudest in stillness. It's where I can best hear my heart and soul. I got a kick out of you call me a 'poetic fairy.' Made me smile and made my day. Grateful for you and your soulfulness, hugs, Sara

Does stillness mean a tornado is on the way. A bit like silence freaks you out.

great analogy...I've been in that calm before the storm (literally and figuratively)...and it is freaky
