I love to just listen to the waves and connect with their movement. That happens to me when I am at the beach. I love to just listen to the waves and connect with their movement.

Once I feed the dogs they settle in and be quiet. The jets aren't flying (I live a few blocks away from a naval air station...a landing stip is at the edge of our neighborhood). I can hear the birds waking and chirping and I LOVE it! Another great place for me is my garden...the butterflies, lady bugs and birds...blooming flowers, beautiful veggies it is one of the best places in the world for me to be!

We so need that time of quiet. As Rowena said - she misses that quiet - young children fill our lives but even as we get oldre we don't often step back and fill ourselves with quiet/peace/aloneness. I had that this morning. I had been "peopled out" Friday and need a time just to recharge. Thanks so much for sharing. Loved your artwork Leah – as well as your observations.

Even when they are sleeping, there's always the possibility they will awake. There's always stuff to do. There's always exhaustion... which is pretty noisy, not quiet at all. I think it has affected both my art and my writing. I miss being quiet. I do not think I have been still for almost 4 years since my first child was born.

I think it has affected both my art and my writing. I miss being quiet.
