Going down to silence


As I embrace the morning quiet, I first notice the steady hum of the refrigerator, the creaking floor as it awakens from its sleep, and the drone of the busy highway in the distance.  

I hear the mockingbird testing his voice, a chorus of crows greeting the new day, and the melodic whistle of the morning train calling out its arrival.  

I feel the cool delta breeze pushing through the screen door, stirring the blinds like aspen leaves. 

           I perceive the purr of the ceiling fan, 
              
               the clock ticking, 
                 
                    my gentle breathing,  
                   
                         the still whisper of God.....
