Shhhh.....


It matters not where I am.


There's no specific season required.


Alone is fine.
But with my love, a friend or a group...well...that works too.


The place is of no consequence.
A bustling city is fine.
Or a ball field.
A pond is always ok with me.


Though I will say
that a rain and dew drenched patch of weeds along the side of a country road
adds some magic to the stillness.


Stillness.
Calm.
Peace.
In the midst of the bustle and business it's important to me to 
be able to find quiet when I need to.
When I want to.


I'm blessed to know that there's one sure place
that I can always find
some soul soothing quiet.


Behind the lens.

Behind the lens I am in the moment.
Awake,
Aware.
The lists and noises and stresses and minutes fall away.
And I'm
just
there,
savoring the world around me.
