Quiet Places
What do we seek? What do we go out from our homes to find? Often when I go to the woods it is for a walk. Sometimes there is direction in where I am going, sometimes a trail is followed. Rarely though am I going to a spot to sit, to stop, to rest. Quiet places are often what I find when I stop and sit a while.
This time of year the birds are relatively quiet. The deer and squirrels will walk right up to you without sound if the crunch of leaves do not give them away. Very few people seem to be in these quiet places, even in the evenings when school and work is done. I can close my eyes and rest.
It is hard for me to stop moving. It is difficult sometimes to quiet myself and rest. Quiet places outside provide the peace that my soul is seeking. They are places of contentment. Quiet places are treasures that I continue to enjoy this season.

Great entry. I live in a world of noise, so it's good for me to seek these quiet places too. :)
