Still Saturday: Quiet

By

quiet down

It is a hard art to learn,
catching quiet
by palms raised
cupped in
air shifting location
here and there like
trying to guess the pattern of falling leaves,
and hoping to feel
the soft descent of moments
when silence slips
between sounds.

This is another repost because… well, we’ve been kind of busy.

Our newest grand girl was born Monday.

And our oldest grand girl turned 13 on Tuesday.

Cousin love.

In the stillness,

Sandy

Sandra Heska King - Still Saturday

Welcome to the Still Saturday Community where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and reflect on the depth of sparse words. We’d love for you to join us. Grab the button and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to be still together, to gaze long and drink deep.

    Pictures to make my heart sing! Aren’t grand children just the best? As a Gram-in-training (first grand boy is one year old!), I salute your decision to re-post something today — and I loved your choice of words!

      Thanks so much, Liz. We never dreamed back when we lost the dream of having kids at all that one day we’d actually have grands. I wonder if we’ll ever see greats… 😉

    May God shower your family with blessings upon each generation and the peace and joy of quiet moments… congratulations!
