12 Reflections on Paintings for Our Common Home – Painting #8 “Tranquillity”, and Reflection #8 “Tranquillity”.

Tranquillity

Peaceful in the moment

Tranquil in my soul.

Hear the silence,

Soothing the music of nature,

In stillness my heart sings,

The Divine looks at me

Through the green leaves.

Take time to give it care

Finding the serenity

Of just being there.
