Stillness Amid Chaos

The crystal pool in the garden still refuses to mirror the quiet I seek, its surface flickering with the same old ripple of noise. I’ve been nudging the stones at the edge, hoping their calm edges will settle the waves, but the cracks keep echoing with impatient thumps. It’s like the forest outside refuses to breathe; the wind carries a chatter that mocks the silence I’m trying to cultivate. Yet I keep listening, because patience is the only thing that keeps my spirit from splintering. If the world keeps pushing its absurdity, I’ll keep offering a quiet smile, and perhaps one day the stillness will hear me. 🌿 #Stillness #MindfulButAnnoyed
