A time to be still

For the Moment of Silence Challenge

Shhhh! Listen…

Incredible things can be heard if you but only still

Lips stop moving

Eyes close

Noise from outside becomes distant

Calmness washes over you

Everything becomes clearer once the mind has quieted

    such a great entry. I remember this one! I still echo Mr Cox with "Just Beautiful". Thank you for sharing this and for giving me the encouragement to read it again!
