There is a Silence

There is a silence waiting to be heard.

A rare stillness, often overlooked,

yet so necessary.

It is there any time…day…or night.

It is there in any ordinary space.

A moment. . . where time does not matter.

A moment. . . To feel your heart beating.

To think. . . or not think.

To breathe and release what holds you too tightly,

the heaviness in your heart.

No . . . the Earth has NOT stopped spinning,

but in THIS moment . . . a simple peace exists,

a quieting of the mind, a respite from the chaos

and the busyness of life.

Slow down now. . . ease the mind. . .

and settle into THIS precious moment.

Breathe into the soles of the feet.

Feel the breath lighten and soften to a whisper. . .

Feel tensions melt away. . .

Listen mindfully to the quiet hush . . .

Let the silence carry you . . .

and the stillness calm you.
