Have you ever wanted a few moments of silence? The cacophony in the stores and trying to remain six feet from another soul as I stood in line for longer than I wanted to buy a single item left me frazzled. Some people seem to ignite energy shopping for the “best” whatever. Not me. I prefer a gentle stroll in a quiet store with plenty of space.
I'm struck by several coincidences from the past two days. One is this lovely discussion on silence. Yesterday I was attending my weekly yoga class (so grateful to be able to do that again) and I was browsing their community library of free books. I found an old copy of 'Silence, The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise'. That led me to sit in the sunshine and meditate for the first time in a very long time. What a great reminder. Thanks for this.
This is a great reminder to stop and be in the present moment. As a single mom of two toddlers I used to tell myself to stop everything and sit on the floor with them. It was hard, but it gave me moments...
I loved all of your shadow photos. And I loved and laughed at your reference to Dark Shadows. I was very hooked on this show. Watched every episode they made, most likely. I did find an episode in the last year while cruising the TV guide, so I took a look, and did laugh at how truly ridiculous the show was. Back then though, I took having to watch it very seriously.
I have my own library. I end up donating many books to libraries in my country. Can't get my kids to read. Lol. I collect first editions books among others. I too, love books.
