The Quiet Center

Come and find the quiet center

    in the crowded life we lead,

Find the room for hope to enter,

Find the frame where we are freed:

Clear the chaos and the clutter,

Clear our eyes that we can see

    all the things that really matter,

Be at peace, and simply be.

–Shirley Erena Murray

Each of us has a quiet center, deep within our being where we meet our true self. In that silent place we find solace and peace and see what really matters.
