I am sitting peacefully after a busy day touring Gort and Galway City in County Clare. Nothing remarkable to report and I am in need of some quiet time. I just glanced out my window to look at the River Shannon this evening. As the sun sets is reflects as silver on the water. Moonlight in the day light, I have written about that before. What is particularly striking this evening is the stillness of the river. I am inspired by the Shannon to share this poem. The adventurous Marsha will return tomorrow. The question is, will she be wearing socks?
A Sea of Silence
In a sea of silence
my breath rises up and down
like the waves of a great ocean
that rocks and rolls to the rhythms
and challenges of life.
Underneath there is a stillness,
a sense of perfect calm,
a base of stability
that is the underlying assurance
that all of life is an outpouring
of infinite wisdom and love.
In the stillness lies the answer
for all of life's complexities.
The journey is glorious.
The sojourner is One.
