Tranquility

Dedicated to my mother who understands the meaning of the question
- Tranquility: Peace of mind or answer to life?

Tranquility

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting on the jetty of a lake at 5 in the morning,
Gazing at the islands across the expanse and the mountains in the backdrop.
That moment of utter stillness
The sense of peace and communion with a higher being that opens your mind and shifts your perspective.

Sitting in the tube with the crowd of faces
The smells of the masses, noises of the city.
The daily grind and drudgery of ecking a living
All that is needed is a moment to recapture that state of being.
