I can't quite explain it, but I feel a sense of peace this morning. It is close to me like the clouds are close to the mountains in the morning. I feel comforted. I think I would say I feel content :) For some reason the pressure to meet invisible standard has dissipated, and it is wonderful!
The house we're staying at has a sprinkler system that runs Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 6a-8a. The back and front yards are filled with the sound of rush water and moving sprinkler heads. The grass is not merely wet but soaked. The little blades of green can't hold all the water that is sprayed onto them.
But Tuesday and Thursdays are a different story. There is not rushing water, no soaking wet yard, no mechanic, just stillness. The yard is still and the sunshine glimmers off a wondrous thing - dew. I've never been sure where dew comes from and how it's always there, even in a desert like southern Colorado, but it comes regardless. No noise announces its arrival, but it has a certain indescribable beauty. The stillness of dew twinkling on the blades of grass is like the peace resting on me this morning.
