Pick a peaceful moment
The morning hour before the mists have burned clear
A blue lake whose surface is mirror-still, or fluttering with a light, shimmering breeze
A child intently exploring a disappearing bug or elusive butterfly
A crisp, ice-embossed winter day casting long shadows of still green pines
A pair of young lovers walking together with quiet smiles
An older couple sitting together, reading separate books, together
Whenever the pressure seems too much to bear
When the series of choices are too many to sort through
When the demands exceed the supply of energy
Return to these moments, if only in your memories
Let them fill you again
With their essential calmness
Tilting an off-kilter world
Back to plumb and level
