Stillness: Reading Of Poem By Candace Feldman

This is a poem by beloved Candice Feltman.

Stillness Today the patter of rain against my window Gives voice to the day,

While darkness fools the sky Some shade of grey I wake slowly,

Adding layers of clothing for comfort Lighting candles to soften the room Gradually shuffling back to bed with hot tea There is no reason to rush anywhere The morning barely rose from slumber Most are carefully tucked in bed The birds just beginning their chant I sit here,

Unfolding the covers from dreams Holding hope for the day Yet it will likely pass by,

A forgotten miracle Too big to contain its essence These quiet times,

Often taken for granted Without blessing each moment for what we have been given in stillness Beautiful Thank you dear Candice And thank you dear listener Until next time
