Sometimes I need a quiet moment just to be, to sit, reflect and to quiet my soul.

I need time to see around me and the beauty that is there, even in the brown dormant leafless trees.

The quiet moments allows me to be grateful and notice the blessings that in the loud are hidden by urgency.

It's in these moments that my breath comes deep, my shoulders relax, and I start to hear the enchanting sounds of here and now.

A quieting of the soul rejuvenates me and steadies me for the hustle, bustle and the immediate.

I feel grounded in this moment.
