A
QUITE PLACE
We
go through life mired in turmoil but quiet and solitude slows
down the pace
Retreating to a quiet place sometime makes us appreciate our
private space.
We need to take the time to relax and recharge both our brains
and body
Sometimes the process requires only a short interlude of rest
with a ”toddy".
The
serenity of seeing a mountain stream surrounded by valleys and
high peaks
Permits us to dream of moments and places we’re not able to
seek.
A stroll through a forest on a small path lets us enjoy the
splendor nature brings
It is as if the landscape had a bath with the pastel greens of
spring.
The song of the birds as they flit from branch to branch
blends with the hum of bees
Changing shadows in the soft filtered light produce the
tranquility found in the trees.
The gentle breeze that ruffles and rustles the leaves produces
the music of nature
Finding some to listen to and absorb from time to time makes
this a pleasant venture.
The
presence of a companion who shares your memories, visions and
dreams
Makes the experience even more rewarding and enjoyable than it
might seem.
We are then able to return to our structured existence with its
normal strife
And with your wife take up the place that we normally occupy in
real life.
