Hi everyone,
Quiet moments are precious. With the inclusion of photographs I have for a change, inserted a wee poem.
There are moments in my life,
where I wish to be.
To just enjoy the quiet.
Just me and my dreams.
Sometimes with my eyes closed,
Other times with my eyes wide open.
Then there are times when I stand and stare,
out into the distance and beyond.
So, please, no noise.
Just let me be.

My recent trip to Albania was about quiet and peace, not much internet.. just hiking, swimming and staring out to sea.. 😉

Your poem gave me goosebumps, Suzanne. Especially the words “visual storyteller.” I get it. For me, “the quiet” is a precious gift. Breathtaking photos! You have an eye for beauty, Suzanne.

A resonating poem, Suzanne. I adore silence and solitude! It is so difficult to find in our western worlds sometimes. And, I have the hardest time to concentrate and be productive when there is noise. It is everywhere… Cheers to silence!

Beautiful Suzanne and so timely for me as I work towards letting go of what robs me of joy. I’ve just put my grandson down for a sleep so enjoying the silence and I came across your post on #MLSTL. Thank you for sharing and have a beautiful day. xx
