Refreshing

Sitting in the stillness, surrounded by the sounds of morning. My music this morning is the sound of two family members collaborating in the other room solving a Sudoku, the chirping of the birds, the pitter patter of the rain. There is a dreary drudge to the morning, and at the same time a freshness that the rain of Spring will bring. Colorful little wrens on the fences, trees budding and plants growing and greening before my eyes. It is a beautiful sight. I am surrounded by peace, by serenity, by calm. I feel the quiet renewal in my soul. I am overwhelmed with the sense that it is, indeed, well with my soul.
