Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Karen ... I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I know from personal experience that your memories will give you much strength and comfort. He's been our neighbor for many many years. We'll miss seeing him putting out corn for the squirrels and taking his daily walks.
