there was such a stillness about this place
i painted the scene over and over in my mind
holding the moment
like a small brush
until the painting
was done
and i too
was still

So brilliant, Steven. The observer as painter, participant.
the best kind of meditation
Under that carpet of green lies a bed of dark water and still more stillness. Thanks, Steven.
People often think of Blue as the color of calm and tranquility.
I always think of green. This is perfect!
ruth - so much passes through the experiencing of a moment. is it that some moments are fuller than others or that i can perceive more in some moments than others. steven
pauline - the best! steven
elisabeth - it's interesting to me that you should say that. i had in my mind the words to describe the deep green depths of this place but i wondered if that might draw the reader away from the outer skin. but it's there. for sure it's there. steven
hope - i find the green of summer, the plants that fill this house, each places of calm and quiet! steven
Stillness is my favourite feeling Steven - not always easy to find.
hello weaver - it's one of mine and would likely be my favourite if (as you point out) it were easier to find. steven
I do get the serenity of this, the peace and stillness. the beauty...still water, green - mosquito larvae do thrive!unfortunately that's the first thing that came to mind because that is how literal I am today...they always find stillness and then mess it up.
one of the most beautiful images ever. truly. all of it. i feel calm here.

erin
linda sue - oh probably - i even wondered about cayman crocs released by someone who couldn't manage their size, and water moccasins, poison dart frogs, wolves sneaking up from behind, black widow spiders and then i let all of that go. lovely stillness was all mine and everything else around me. steven
erin - how cool is that! steven
Beautiful. :-)
I love this place, too. Beautiful.
