An Ode To Simplicity

This short poem is a reminder of the beauty and peace that can be found in the simplest things. It's an ode to a quieter way of living, to the often-overlooked moments: those daily rituals that may seem mundane or unremarkable. There is no guidance in the poem, just a quiet observation of these ordinary pockets of time, but I encourage you to notice the little things that can bring a sense of calm to your day. What in your life has the potential to make you feel at peace, dear friend? Can you be fully present during those moments?

The beautiful piano song belongs to Clavier.

I find peace as I rake the cut grass.

As I hang freshly washed clothes on the line.

As I fold them once dry.

I find peace as my feet sink in the sand.

As seagulls bathe next to me on the shore.

As you hold my hand in silence.

I find peace in the open sky,

The open fields.

My open heart beating in unison with the currents.

There is,

After all,

Peace to be found in this turbulent world.

Patiently waiting for our thoughts to untangle.

Thank you for this wonderful way to begin my day finding joy and the simple things of daily life.

Your voice is the most magically, mesmerizing, melodic,and nurturing voice is have ever heard in my 64 years on this planet. I can't thank you enough for making such a positive difference in my life with your lovely meditations. Your choice of words is also pure genius. May you be forever buoyed up by the knowledge that you are helping heal anyone who ever reads what you write (on Sensitive Refuge) and hears what you say (on Insight Timer) Thank you, again. I look forward to anything else you create.

"Patiently waiting for our thoughts to untangle." Thanks.

This was beautiful and I did feel peace as it reminded me of those simple threads in the tapestry of life. Without them we would become unraveled. I’m very grateful for simplicity. 🙏🏻

“There is, after all, peace to be found in this turbulent world, patiently waiting for our thoughts to untangle”. Would that those around the world causing that turbulence would hear and heed Vivky’s incredibly powerful words. Magic
