in the stillness, fresh breezes of promise stirring,

I wonder if you can pause
--just for a moment--
the emergency of your life
and step out into
the quiet of the world.
Hear how gently it conveys
the delicate thread of birdsong,

“The Paradox of Freedom: The way to expand your freedom is to narrow your focus.
The disciplined become the free.”
- Stay focused on saving to achieve financial freedom.
