Oh, how wonderful is the sound of silence?
A silence that stills my racing heart.
I am unable to ignore the stillness there.
A tune that I can hear in my head.
Just peace and calm, oh so close. No words to say. No sounds to hear.
The calm is where I find comfort and rest.
It feels better to take a calm pause.
the symphony, the sound of nothing,
Such a clean and unfettered rhythm.
It reverberates throughout my entire being.
A calming refrain that completes me.
I therefore accept this calming sound as a break from the surrounding noise.
I discover my grace in the solitude,
My sacred space, a haven of calm.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Rachel Reviews: Lunch Tales: Teagan by Lucille Guarino
Well, I did enjoy this! Sometimes, all you need is just great storytelling and this is what Lucille Guarino delivers here. There's no big message to this book; it's just about folks and families, living their lives and coping with everything that's being thrown at them and finding their way. But when it's done well, like it is here, then you have characters to whom you can relate, tension which leaves you rooting for a better outcome, attraction which has your heart racing and an urge, as a reader, to see the characters happy with the people with whom they belong.
