One of the January Prompts this week was silence. After journaling for a few minutes about silence I then sat in silence to listen & see what I could hear. Here's the list I came up with
*a baby breathing
*the hum that quiet makes
*pen on paper
*my heartbeat
*birds singing
*the creaking of the house
*your own voice
*the wind through the empty tree branches
*knitting needles clacking
There is something sacred about the early morning silence. A time for thoughts to be thought & processed. Prayers to be said. Time to wonder at the poetry of newly fallen snow & the blanket it gives the world.
The older I get the more I value silence.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have the most joyous weekend.
I love that time in the morning when all you can hear is the birds chirping. In my case it's a puppy dog barking at the birds. Ahhh - one day I'll actually get silence!
ReplyDeletethe poetry of new fallen snow. YES! look at you, jen - already making your word of 2014 happen!
