Bugs and Birdsong

 

Listen.

Listen past the noise

to softer sounds.

Wind, water,

bugs, birdsong,

a church bell, a distant train.

Listen

to your own deep breath

drifting in and out.

Listen as the sounds of peace

calm your soul.

We Never Know

 

“We never know when we must go,

nor what guides we are to get—

men, storms, guardian angels, or sheep. . . .

Almost everybody in the least natural

is guided more than he is ever aware of.”

– John Muir –

May we be guided into paths of peace, kindness, and calm.
