Silent Bridge

By: Nancy Johnson

Long Beach, California

The silence is a state of being.

Ever present.

Ever aware,

yet hidden by the noise.

We are used to the noise.

We become the noise,

all the while

we miss the void and the stillness

which create the bridge

from doing to being.

Sensitivity and curiosity exist

in our Chi, our life force, our breath.

Traveling that bridge of energy

brings internal peace.

Be the calmness in the center of the daily storms
