It’s dark. Still. Quiet.

In quietness,
the sound of eternity
can at times be heard—
the stars somehow closer and
a sense of the earth’s moving.

it is an interesting word – out of the realm of what we normally can recognize with the words and tastes we know, but somehow know it exists. like bleu cheese, or truffles. and kind of like the universe.

Yes Helen. So true…
May we never be too busy, tired, jaded, old, infirm, sick or indifferent to look up; a simple childhood joy that we can actually hold on to, and so many wonders above us!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
