Looking into Silence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quiet of the house when the dog<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is gone rings undisturbed. Wind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
purring through the pines is another quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So is the crunch of a horse\u2019s hooves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in sere autumn leaves. Evening has its<\/p>\n\n\n\n
own calm as night bugs begin their chants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps the quietest is snow sifting through<\/p>\n\n\n\n
branches, settling on winter\u2019s Little Bluestem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The silence of a closing door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
