Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content, The quiet mind is richer than a crown… ― Robert Greene

I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least. ― Bob Newhart
If talk is cheap, then being silent is expensive. And many people it seems, can’t afford to buy into it. ― Anthony Liccione
She liked the life she had. She loved habits. She craved a day with nothing in it, a long, quiet stretch of hours in the studio.― Ann Brashares, Sisterhood Everlasting
“You’re very perceptive for a guy who can go a whole day without talking,” she said, peering up at him. “That’s why I’m perceptive.” ― Nicholas Sparks, The Longest Ride
I have both the violent turbulence of the storm and the quiet promises of God in the storm. And what I must work to remember is that something is not necessarily stronger simply because it’s louder. ― Craig D. Lounsbrough
I am a believer in silence. The value of silence. The power of silence. The space that isn’t an absence but a presence. A pause that is bigger than the noise that surrounds it. A gap that is a mirror. A gulf that is a bridge. The emptiness that is rejuvenating. The space that is full of more than it could ever contain. ― Helen Rickerby, How to Live
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Then I am happy that I shared it, Laura! The colorful columbine usually get all the love. What does that say about us? One could get very philosophical about this. 🙂

We are in a drought, and my spring (my only source of water) dried up yesterday. So I have no water, and the garden is drying up quickly. I have to enjoy it while I can because it will be gone soon. Not happy.

I loved that Anthony Liccione quote. Sometimes silence is precious and listening is the best gift that we can give someone. ❤
