Quiet us










Busy lives
Busy thoughts
Busy dreams
No time for reflection
Consequently
We don't listen
Don't reflect
Don't think critically
And we collide with one another.
Instead of being with one another.

Quiet us
So that we can live simply.
Being in the moment. Sensing your presence.
Where our talking intersects
Instead of turning into shouting matches.
Where our doing is praying at the same time,
Moving through life
In the presence of the Divine.

Quiet us.


["Q" words are difficult to find - how about "quicken us" or "quarrel with us?" or "quake in us?"]
