C'est...living room view morning sitting spot





This watercolor has been completed of the view that holds my attention every morning that I sit here, as well as other times of day when I want to get quiet and ruminate. Writings often bubble up after sitting here.


The quietude pervades-
Nearly quiet-
Quietness
Flame flickering quiet.
Incense rising quiet
Slow, deep breath quiet
Blood flowing smoothly quiet
Few thoughts quiet
Sitting still quiet
Gentle morning birds quiet
Soft heart quiet-
Very important
Good love quiet
Yes, also very important
Bamboo branches quiet
Safe and alone quiet
Middle of the night quiet
Good night’s sleep quiet
In the now quiet
IS-
Flowers pushing up in the garden quiet
Growing wiser quiet
Early morning sun slowly streaming in quiet-
Old oriental rug quiet
Still gaze quiet
Solid ground, deep earth quiet
Gentle, tender soul quiet
Heart-centered quiet
Quiet
