Quietly sitting down to prayer
I turn within away from the glare
Turn off the sounds
Turn off the sights
Feel my peaceful center inside
Stay awhile, merging with God

/ May 29, 2011No, the flower was from the internet–but it’s really cool isn’t it? And I thought it represented my 160 very well.
I’m glad you liked this, Jaye–yes, my philosophy is showing.
