A friend shared this poem with me by Joyce Rupp called, “Stillness”. I crave stillness and quiet in my life, don’t you?
Just stillness
Like my world seldom knows.
Inside I have an expressway
That never slows down,
Always full of going somewhere
Always another thing to do
Stillness
Just stillness
Filled with quiet, numinous sounds,
Like butterfly wings, river murmurs,
Cloud breaths, firefly blinks,
And silence, simple, serene silence,
Nothing more
Stillness
