One of my summer goals is to try to find a still, calm moment each day and to enjoy it. 

I typically get up early, so the early morning is a great time for this. This was at dawn, though I'm not sure if the sun was up or not due to the misty conditions. Still, it was magical as mornings tend to be. And, the birds were awakening and getting to work with their songs. I tried to record one proud singer. If you turn up the volume, you might hear him (if the vid actually works 😃).

Just standing there for only a couple of minutes is golden. I'm reminded of the 1 Kings passage of God speaking in a "still, small voice" or a "gentle whisper," depending on the translation. Both are beautifully phrased, but I think I like a "still, small voice" best. It's not necessary to shout the loudest voice to be heard.
