Let's spend the day
Talking
Without
Words, sounds
Just sitting
Being present
In your presence
Never seems
Enough
Time, energy
in the day
Excuse?
Recuse I would
If I could
But
No time like the present
Disconnect
Let's spend the day
Together
Reclaiming love
Being just us
Not our roles
Let's spend the day
Together

Author's Notes: Okay, so this is something my wife, Ruth, will say I'd have trouble doing. I really would like to try it though.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

Beautiful… however ‘some’ of us would find this extremely challenging unless reading or sleeping 🥹😳.
Do it! Ruth knows best! Disconnect! Dharrsheena below can take over all vocal operations for a time. We’ll be fine. ..Paul comes back three months later to find everyone lost all their vocal investments! 😆
As an introvert, I sure do love the silence. But only with someone I'm comfortable with. If not, I'll feel so awkward and would start talking to fill the silence. Lol. I wish you all the best for trying this! 🍩🥐
I personally love the sound of silence. It's the best thing in the world and even better when shared with someone who knows what it means x Very touchimg and loved the nod to you your wife...whose probs keeping her fingers crossed just a little bit 😁
Let's & please do. Ruthie's not the only one who will be happier for it.
beautifully written
Yes! You're wife is right to think its important!
beautiful!
