peace, sweet peace.....

Yesterday I had some time before the arrival of a client. It was a beautiful day, so I sat my tookus down in the rocker on my landlord's porch and just listened. There were so many different melodies in the air that I could not discern which bird was singing what. Off in the distance rang the percussion of a woodpecker. The breeze was gentle and the sun was shining. Every so often, a leaf would dance delicately to the ground imitating the butterfly that was flitting out in the pasture.

So peaceful

I wondered if this was what it must have been like in Eden. I'm sure the Garden peace was magnified and the chirping opera louder, but I think I caught a glimpse...then conversation or laughter from the bicyclists or the ocassional car passing brought me back to the reality of the day reminding me how precious those glimpses truly are.
