Eternal Home

"I've begun to realize that you can listen

to the silence and learn from it.  It has a

quality and a dimension all its own."

Chaim Potok

I walked through the garden gate, immediately surrounded by fragrances lofting in a gentle breeze.  I settled on my favorite bench and sat until all became still.  Peace at last, worries evaporating, and all stress falling away.

As I opened my eyes, I began to glimpse the singing birds and feel the sun shining upon my face.  The warmth melted into my body allowing me to feel perfectly safe.  I could hear the little critters scurrying beneath my feet, reminding me this was their home.

I open my heart to the words hidden in silence, as they are like fragrant flowers with delicate petals,' Each one must be held tenderly, without danger of harm. I fill my body with each breath, wishing this dimension were my eternal home.
