Quietude ~*Marge Tindal*~ When quiet spills across the meadow seeking souls surrendering to the search we must be still so it can enter Quiet surrounds without confounding encompassing our spirits in listening For only by listening can we hear the quietude of knowing Whys are not answered because we think we are ready For only when quiet finds us listening does it engage us in knowing Knowing skips joyously over green meadows in wealth of wisdom for sharing ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This is a great poem. You put a lot of thought into it. only when we are still and stop asking do the answers come to us. Do not fear going forward slowly, |

Beautiful, and coincidence...I wrote of this today too and only in the quiet do we find that we knew the answers all along. Marge, this was fantastic knowledge for all. ~If you have a choice to sit down or dance, I hope that you dance~ |

Ahh, Marge..gentle soul, who hears the silent footsteps of quiet moving over that meadow........Knowing skips joyously over green meadows in wealth of wisdom for sharing....for if anyone shares, my sister guardian...it is you..very gentle smile to a very special person |

Shadow~ Thank you for liking this piece. Vicky~ You know I have been so churned up over the events at Big Mountain, Arizona, that I had to be still so that the voice of quiet could tell me what active part I needed to take. I gather now the 'Rainbow Warriors' from across the world ... we go in knowing what we must do. Seymour~ I find such peace in the meadow-of-my-mind. The retreat is serenity to me. MarkVSheldon~ Thank you so much. Mysteria~ The message to Vicky~ is also meant for you. Thank you both for all you do. Karilea~ Thank you for hearing the song. INot2B~ I am glad the wind blew this one your way. Rascalx~ So very pleased to see that you enjoyed it. Martie~ In order to be of any good to the people, I sometimes have to shout to be heard. But people's lives hang in the balance at Big Mountain ... and I must temper my outrage with systematic knowing of an action plan to assist them. FlutterWings~ Thank you so much for hearing this piece. Logan~ I must share ... The message to Vicky~ is also to you. Thank you for your assistance. Peace~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Quiet surrounds without confounding encompassing our spirits in listening For only by listening can we hear the quietude of knowing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seems you realize that knowledge comes from listening. I wrote The Mountains Say Nothing, for the same reasons you write here, but could barely touch with my mind what you have wonderfully expressed in this beautiful poem. Hugs, Deb |
