In stillness, there is more
than what we drown out
    with noise.
Silence is a rare gift.
   There is always something-
         machines,
	 nature,
	      people… Our own breath.
When we move beyond noise, we find quiet.
Quiet- awake in the middle of the night.
Quiet- alone in the woods, on a rock.
Quiet- in a dark stone cathedral.

Here, silence is easy to find.
but  it is ever-present.
For those who know how to look silence can be found anywhere.
In stillness, our thoughts speak loudly
And in stillness- peace- there is God.
