Quietness

Our neighborhood seems especially quiet this weekend. No children playing on the road; no neighbors walking dogs. A lot of people must have gone away for the long weekend. We will be deciding which church to go to and I am sure both places will have a lot less people.
I am sure somme of our good friends will be there.

We thought of driving up and surprising our family at the Lake but it is an hour away from Kamloops and we do not even know the name of the place. We all like to dream and immage

Dad is still sleeping and I am debating taking a walk as it looks like a sunny day.

Just think, our little grandson, Matthew will be a week old. My advice to Melina and Ken is to rest when he is resting.

Quiet is good because we need to be quiet at times to balance our lives of noise and busynes

Wisdom speaks quietly and gently to those who are listening.

The sacred is also quiet. We see it in each other's eyes, in the beauty of nature, the joy of music and the creativity of art. We see it in the mess of life as well.
