Ataraxia

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

When the wind
forgets to hurry
so does the heart.
Untroubled leaves
can rest
where they fall—
nothing to resist.

Peace is not won,
only remembered,
like finding calm water
in the middle
of the storm.
Cloudia Charters



The tree can whisper
with the clouds only if
its roots go very deep
into the earth.
Osho

Hope is being able
to see that there is
light despite all of
the darkness.
Desmond Tutu




To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer
to the universe. Eckhart Tolle

Your words drift like still air after rain, reminding us that peace was never gone, only waiting to be noticed

Beautiful sky shot and funny that you can't see if it is sunrise or sunset.

Had to look up Ataraxia, but enjoyed thinking about it now. Pixie is so well framed with the light hitting her in the view with the geometric shapes.

I hope that you experience some calm water and light in the darkness today. I am sure that you will.
