Behold, the quiet time comes.
Like twilight, its deep shadows spread, stilling frantic faith with a cool hand of calm. Be still now. Be quiet. Call within for ancient thoughts to arise, give them room to simply be. Wisdom is a well where sacred waters reflect the face that watches, for only still waters reflect the moon, untroubled by winds of ceaseless change.
Be still. Be ready. The quiet time comes.
