CD : 546 silence


[...] "I have learned silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind;
yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers". [...]  Khalil

the babbling brook
makes me drowsy and happy -
a late summer night

1
under green shade; birds
dine at the new feeder as
late summer wind rests
2
though they were quiet
now they are gone, turtles find
a new loving home
3
disease requires
rest - the body actively
heals itself quietly
1. viewed from the window - at the feeder, eating birds do not sing.
2. The turtles I was ‘babysitting’ have found a new home.
3. hubby is quiet as he rests his head...
From all of these things, I learn acceptance of what is, was and will be.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
