Busy as this day may be,
there is a still-point within it.
As time runs by like a river
racing to the sea,
the Spirit creates quiet
pools, small islands,
spaces to break the
single-minded movement.
Find one of these today
before you white water over
rocks.
Even a small silence can
calm your soul.
Sit in peace.
Close your eyes.
Breathe.
See how the water wears
sunlight like diamonds,
shadows like a shawl.
