freewrite, thank you for your kind words. I read your blog, and tried to comment there, but the comments don't work. It sounds like you have a lot to write about, and you have a nice turn of phrase. Keep going. I'll check back--I hope you can fix those comments!
Grace, me too! I find it so hard to quiet my mind enough to hear. When I do, it's a perfect example of serendipity.
Monique, the photo is my husband, in France, near the Lac de Gurson. I was painting with a friend, and Dan joined us to read in the shade. I caught him in a quiet contemplative moment, and thought that this photo was perfect with the quote.
Reflecting about the quote finds me tearful as I realize the summer has pretty much moved on, school is back in session, and I don't remember a quiet, thoughtful moment. It seems as though I must always be doing something...mostly work....
Ah, Kate, don't we all do this to ourselves? I think that's why I was drawn to this quote so much. And to the photo of my active, never-still husband in a quiet moment.
But you can change the word 'summer' in the quote to 'autumn' or 'winter' or 'chilly' or 'sunny' or 'happy' or 'difficult' or even 'busy'. It still works.

so true, so true. all my epiphanies (a grand total of...two)(maybe three) arise from such situations. :)
I have to learn that..
If I am away..I can do it..which is so rare..
If at home..there is an energy and sense of I must be doing something:(
I would love to change that about me.
Tell us about the lovely photo?

I must make a change.
