Today, when I arrive at the park, I notice there is such stillness.

No wind, no activity, even the robins and squirrels are gone.

What is this place, this emptiness, can it be trusted?

Can I believe in calmness, can I trust in moments without purpose?

Is this the absence of fear?

In this moment I don’t feel attached to anything.

Pale shades of blue have replaced the night sky, no clouds,

The stars present but unseen.

I must move on, but this morning something was gained and something lost.

Learning to be grateful for spontaneous moments of peace.
