reflections

This piece is inspired by the following words penned by Courtney D. Ware:

be still

and know

don’t move
don’t doubt

be quite
be sure

sit down

believe

slow down

make no sound

worry free
quiet trust

confident freedom acceptance

knowing is eternal
knowing is internal

stillness is eternal
still is internal

believe within your being

stop long enough to see

let silence speak
