the stark beauty and stillness
of a glassy pond 'neath moonlight,
is a sight worth a million

but to feel such calmness
when the pond is no longer in sight,
is worth far more

So true Kacy, and so wonderfully written. I need to learn how to do this!

I think I understand...when I close my eyes, I can see the timeless desert in my mind which is more calming
than actually being physically there...
sort of like the formless is more powerful
and healing than the form...

Say hi to him for me, yes?

I  drove past a stream the other day, noticed its stillness and the reflecions of the lined trees in it and thought the same...

lovely thoughts, Kacy
