Today my world is hushed as a late winter storm blankets the earth and creates my very own snow globe. The anticipation of Spring with the warmth of its sun, new life peeking up from the ground, and birdsong filling the air is now forced to wait. Today my world is hushed.
The demands and responsibilities of the past weeks are not permitted to enter my snow globe today. The worry and tears are forced to retreat, replaced by a cup of tea, a good book, and soft music. I curl in front of the fireplace and cocoon myself in the softness and warmth of a blanket. Today my world is hushed.
I step back from the marathon of life with its frantic pace. I stop and embrace the stillness. I breathe in the quiet. Today Mother Nature coaxes me to rest. Today my world is hushed.
