Quiet the Mind..Whisper says the soul, follow does the heart..
Quiet the mind, whisper says the soul, follow does the heart...While visiting Vermont I had a lot of time to myself which is a rare event in our lives these days. And on one of those fine days I stayed in the hotel, pulled out my pencils and paper and sat down to begin to draw. As soon as my bottom touched the chair I was distracted by the beautiful view of Lake Champlain and all the activity surrounding it. I became mesmerized as I watch life being lived from my sixth floor window. Sailboats were sailing, bikers were biking and walkers were, yes walking. My mind began to quiet until nothing was being thought nor was there any want or need to think. In that very moment time stopped and in the still and quiet of my mind there I began to hear my soul as it began to whisper and my heart listened and a smile started to appear from somewhere deep within to out. I noticed I was smiling from the pure joy of watching life being lived, the day being lived. So many people all doing the same thing, traveling the same paths whether they chose to bike, walk or sail. Each were doing their own thing in their own way yet they were doing the same kind of things. Some were racing past, some were strolling while others looked like they were just floating along. And, as I watched I realized that just the day before I was one of those bikers peacefully, joyfully biking the same paths being biked while I looked on. From my room I was reminded that we are part of something bigger than all of us just being individuals. What a contrast of the same picture from two different perspectives. Just the day before, I was labeling myself and others...oh he's in a hurry, oh she's a mother, they must be retired...but from up here I wasn't labeling, I just watched while ego was silent and my mind was quiet, whisper went my soul and smile did my heart..
