The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Unrested Spirit Rest

A feeling of unsettled turmoil
The deeper I query the more uproar
I gather my thoughts of uneasiness
The further I probe the greater restlessness

Stillness is what is required now
Silence the mind against its own row
Composure of breath makes the heart Queen
My spirit lays at rest, it’s intuition serene

I can kind of relate to this one.It's so hard to "still" one' thoughts . Good one, Francesca.
