I love fog. It is a visible quiet, a presence that surrounds and muffles. Yesterday it added to a day that needed simple things; ironing, dishes washed, beds made, letters written. I noticed that each task was a meditation of sorts. A singular action I could focus on and fall in behind in meditation. My deep need for meditative silence was calling me in every way it could. Eventually I listened and put down my tools of housekeeping and gave myself up to the silence alone.
“I Had A Dream”
I finally gave in
to the silence
which had been calling
to me all day
Be here with me darling
no need to speak
no need to listen either
just be
breathe
take up space
see the wrinkles smooth
as you press the hot iron close
let your silence
smooth your thoughts
now a blank canvas
waiting for
nothing
happy being here
in the silence
aware of your own
beating heart
speaking to mine
Here we are one
again
Let the silence hold you in its arms and caress your heart. Do not be afraid of silence, it is your friend. Allow the silence to do its good work. Open to it. It longs to give you the rest you crave, if you but head the call. Go ahead, give yourself a few moments of silence right now and just breathe deeply. You need do nothing.
Could feel the deep peace of your silence….ahhhh…
Peace is so delicious it must be shared:) xoxo
