Calm

 The days have been more than a little chaotic lately.  I have been finding it difficult to centre myself and slow down the whirling of activity.  I feel a bit like I am caught up in a tornado. A wise friend told me it was ok to be part of the tornado but to go inside to the centre - to the stillness.  I will still see what is whiling around me but I won't be so caught up in it.

And so.. an early morning walk at the lake before heading to work. 

Only dog walkers and joggers and not many of those as it was a damp humid morning.  

The trill of red winged blackbirds all around.  

Calm.
