Quiet

'Understand that there are two kinds of quiet. There is the quiet you could never stand, the kind of quiet you feel falling asleep at night in the empty countryside, the way the silence beats violently against your ears and all you wish for is grating city noise.

Then there is the quiet you relish. The pressure of water against your eardrums. Hushed submersion in chlorine or saline. Underwater, the silence feels truly quiet. Impenetrable.'

Just for you

Find a secret place, just for you.

It doesn't need to be hidden,
or somewhere quiet.
It's just a place for you to be.
Think of nothing, and think of everything.
Be observant, or close your eyes.
What does it sound like? Can you smell anything?

Dip your feet into the water onto the cool, slimey pebbles and watch the sunlight dance on the surface as you gently create the ripples.
Go deeper, watch as the water caresses your ankles,
your knees gradually disappear, your thighs soon follow,
Slowly, your torso and arms, your neck.
You lift your feet from the bottom, and spread your arms, cradled by the river
You become the reflection, staring at the sky.
