Lake Brown, near Nungarin.
An Uncommon Quiet
My peace is layered,
as silence expands into silence,
and my mind,
untroubled in this eden,
sits down to a quietude uncommon
most of the time.
But here it comes quickly,
and with a joy that is worth possessing
at great price,
though it cannot be bought,
only breathed,
embodied,
lived.

Yes I noticed that, perhaps we have even seen each other, but not yet had cause to know? I marvel at the possibility. 🙂
