The Sound of Silence

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. ~William Penn



Ahhh, silence-- if you don't count the chorus of waterfowl on and around the lake. A few ducks waddled by me hoping for yummy handouts, of which I didn't have. But it seemed okay with them anyway as they later took a nap next to the bench I was sitting.


There still was a haze by the lake. It actually was an overcast day a perfect day to take pictures and to go fishing. DH did just that as I crocheted away.
It was early that day that, apart from the ducks and a jogger or two and DH, I have this side of the lake to myself to reflect on moments past and listen to the sound of silence.
