Sometimes life just calls for quiet...

Sometimes life just calls for quiet. Quiet reflection and pause from the daily grind that is life.

To close your eyes and hear yourself breathe, to soak in the stillness around you, to replenish your soul.

“I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind” Albert Einstein

“A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live” Bertrand Russell

Today I sat and listened to the birds, the crickets, I watched some deer walking along the stream. I watched our turtle do circles in his hideaway. I noticed the beginning of fall as some of the shrubbery and trees have begun to cast off their summer coats and begin to change into their fall colors. I breathed in the fresh air and felt revived. I wrote in my journal, I knitted and felt content. It was the stillness of the day that enchanted me, lulled me into a gentle sleep that left me feeling new when I awoke.

Sshhh can you hear it? Even if for a moment, close your eyes and breathe gently, softly, let it wash over you, because sometimes life just calls for quiet.
