Quiet

I've been away for a few days, and am finding myself a bit overwhelmed on returning by all the posts on all the blogs I would like to catch up with, by all the things I meant to post about, and all the things I have to do in the real world to catch up, and think I just have to let stuff sit, let it be, just be quiet a while. Here is a quote I spotted today, while I was travelling home. It's from WB Yeats:

We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.

I need to find some still water at which to sit. I am tired. It's been a difficult few days. It's good to come home and find my blogging pals still here.
