We are here to
help each other get
through this thing,
whatever it is.
Kurt Vonnegut
Stillness reflects
Shadows of my past
Regret is a soft soaking rain.
Visiting unasked.
Each drop insight
Roots of change within,
Blossoms rise from pain.
Souvenirs of who I've been.
Surrendering I breathe,
Wisdom in silence grows,
Karma's dance unfolds.
And what emerges consoles.
Cloudia Charters
True silence
is the rest of the mind.
And it is to the spirit
what sleep is to the body -
nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn
Hope is much more than
wishful thinking.
Hope is a way of moving
through the world.

DeleteYour reflection is a journey through the soul, embracing the whispers of the past while allowing the lessons of regret to nurture growth. It's a profound reminder that within the silent moments of our lives, wisdom takes root, and from the pain, beauty emerges. In surrendering to life's ebb and flow, we discover the solace that comes from acceptance and the continuous dance of karma.
