You know what I love? The silence at the end of the day, when all I can hear is the windchimes in the courtyard, the rustle of the bamboo, and the squirrels scampering in the oaks. When I can smell the jasmine opening and see the bunny and armadillo grazing side by side. This soft, subtle nuanced world is full of Presence and it’s a world I thrive in.  Let others tilt at windmills and live in the noise and bustle.  For me, the choice is time alone in my own beautiful world with my own thoughts, with my own beloved Self.
