And There I Found Peace 💕

Go to the mountains, I thought.

So I went

Dragging me feet

Grumbling at the steep climb

and the rough terrain

that hurt my soles....

Searching.

Go to the ocean, I thought.

So I went and walked for miles

along the seashore

until nighttime fell

and all went dark

Too dark for searching

Go to the forest, I thought.

So I went and spent

hours among the trees

hugging each one

until my body ached

and my eyes grew tired

Too tired for searching

Go to the river, I thought.

So I went and I sat

and watched the current of the water

playing with driftwood as

the sun sparkled

diamond patterns in white froth

Still searching

"Go into the silence. "... a voice whispered

So I went......

And there I found peace.
