Hush

 

Yesterday as I looked at a travel magazine I came across this phrase "hush of the soul".
It led me to start thinking about what brings hush to my soul.
These pictures in the collage are what I think of when I take time to hush my soul.
The green and soft colors of nature soothe my soul.
Water in nature touches me in my soul.
Sharing tea outdoors with a friend or in quiet solitude gives me a time of hush to my soul.
Take a moment or two to quiet your soul today.

What inspires a hush time in your soul?

Hush time in my soul is inspired by solitude.
A deserted beach at sunset, with the waves rolling in.
Under a leafy tree beside a rippling stream, or
sitting in the garden listening to bees and birds around me.
Finally sitting at the window watching a torrential rain storm, I can feel all my cares being washed away.

Hush time - that's what I need today. Time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Quiet time in the beauty of the world around me. Think I'll make a space in my day for hush time - the work can wait!

I notice not only with you and the other 2 comments, that as with me, reconnection with nature is what I use to hush my soul. Barefoot in the grass, sitting in my flower garden, under the shade of a tree, and the most hush is every evening at dusk, at the end of a hectic day, sitting outside listening to the birds sing their evening songs.

Your beautiful mosaic brings a momentary hush to my soul, Marilyn! Communing with nature in any way is hush for my soul--just tinkering in our little garden, tea on the patio, a few home-grown blooms for a vase, a walk on the beach, a rainbow in the sky after a storm...Mother Nature sooths my soul every time. :o) Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
