Late at nightwhen the family has gone to bed
and the lights are low
I am peaceful
Each breath is like a caress
warming me, nurturing me
reminding me that I am loved
Who knew that intimacy could be found in such moments
of quiet and stillness, of being alone and yet not?
There is such depth of communication in silence
You might know what I mean if you've looked into the eyes
of one that you love, whether human or animal
and you just know that you're known and understood
It takes you to that same place of communion as sitting in stillness and receiving
Life greets you warmly in your heart in moments such as this
"Companionable Stillness"
