The Still Life

I didn’t know what else to title this first entry. I wanted something witty and clever, something to really grab everyone’s attention and make them take notice – but then I decided that that’s not what this is about. This world is screaming to get your attention with neon lights, billboards, loud music and flashy magazines. I don’t want to add to that noise.

 

If anything, I want to turn down the volume. I want to sit with you in a quiet place, share a pot of green tea, and speak in hushed tones. I want to pause and think before I give answers, and I want to answer as simply as possible. If I have nothing meaningful to say, then I want to share companionable silence.

 

I want the chaos to stop. I want the waters to be calm and smooth like glass.

 

There’s more to life than what we are seeing and feeling. And I’m finding more and more every day that those invisible things are what matter most.
