I have to agree the phrases, "meandering, shallow river making its way to the Atlantic Ocean" and "monk like journey" brought me right in and had me feeling the moment of peace and the palpable silence. You are really honing your craft! Way to go! I want to hear more about where you live!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806780584522995159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210969841200469535.post-48753398865363990332012-03-02T19:07:42.200-08:002012-03-02T19:07:42.200-08:00You painted such a beautiful picture of peace - i...You painted such a beautiful picture of peace - it was like taking a little vacation!

It is a hard transition to make, but apparently you have adapted with grace.
