Sometimes it feels good to sit on the dock and just dream.
Sometimes its liberating to stop talking and just listen…

Sometimes letting go of everything and marvelling at the beauty around us, gives us the strength to carry on.
Because sometimes, just sometimes, the sound of silence echoes with the symphony of the universe. 
And magic des happen at moments like these … sometimes …

ReplyDeleteThat "gentle lapping of the water" would be so pleasant listen to and see. Glad you are enjoying it, Loree!
ReplyDeleteI so agree....life becomes centered for me everytime I go out in the woods or on the water! That is why I love going out and capturing nature with my lens.
ReplyDeletelovely post and beautiful pictures. You're so right, I need to do more of this.

Wonderful pictures. They're truly relaxing. What you said is so true. We rush around far too much. Taking time to just breathe can enlighten us no end.
ReplyDeleteThe Italians say, "Dolce far niente!" Which means "The pleasure of idleness!"
