just comtemplating this morning about silence and how little of it there seems to be these days. either the hummmmmm of the refrigerator or air conditioner seems to be ever-present. outside in the garden, the discernable noise of the freeway, even at a distance, but there.

so much to distract us from ourSelves...so much activity, so much to read or listen to. and alas, here i am creating more--more content, more more more!

today is a holiday--hope you'll indulge yourSelf and observe some silence, some serenity...honor the activity you do daily by taking a moment, savoring the silence, listening to your own breath.

Sink into the peace that is central to your being...just now--turn your listening ears inside, feel yourself settle down and withdraw your attention from the outer. a deep breath lets you relax a bit more...             ...and a bit more...

return here often, it is a safe place to be and to be nurtured.
