Stillness

Oct 27

Early this morning I woke up before sunrise to see the view from our balcony. Usually the mighty Brisbane River is swirling back and forth with the tides. The surface is choppy and splashing the river banks. But this morning it is absolutely as still as a mirror.

The tranquil scene makes me reflect on how our coming to Brisbane has helped us still the noise of the surrounding world. We feel calmer and better able to reflect on living out our retirement years.
