REMEMBERING

I was sitting listening to my favorite celtic CD when I suddenly thought of my Grandpa. He died almost two years ago and I realized that I was missing him. I love this CD but I fell in love with it even more when I was on the phone with him one of the last times and he said, "That's real nice music you have on Norma."

I wonder how many times I have been missing him and not even stopped to realize that was going on.

After spending New Year's Eve and Day in silence I have considered spending one day a week in silence. I think I am going to do that. I hear things in silence that I don't otherwise hear. I also get to be okay with my own company.

I am going to the forest on Sunday - I will do it in silence - I saw, heard, and smelled a tree fall in the forest where I am going three years ago. I wonder what I will see, hear and smell this time..................
