Hints of Gladness January 24, 2023
I’m enjoying watching
the way the creek flows.
There’s something very calming
and peaceful about it. The industrial noise in the background, not so much!
A couple of nice things were shared
with me this morning on Facebook messenger.
One was a poem called
“words that come from silence”
Thanks, cousin Laura!
For the second morning
in a row, I feel a strong desire
to be out here.
It’s raining.
The sound of the raindrops
hitting my umbrella.
Seems funny,
but there is a gentle sound
of water going down the drain.
Sips of morning coffee.
We live by a public works yard
and often there’s noise
that comes from there
that interrupts the flow.
Or does it?
I keep opening and closing my umbrella.
It’s almost like it’s not raining
at the moment,
and instead,
the air is completely wet.
Rest
Be silent.
Be still
Connect with the pace of nature.
