silence between the trees

Later in the evening, after I finished writing my short little blog

I took a walk through the woods behind my home

I did some breathing patterns and allowed myself to reset

And then something happened

I felt the margin I hadn’t felt in weeks

And it reminded me what French composer Claude Debussy shared,

“It’s the silence between the notes, that holds the keys to music”

And there it was

The margin I was looking for wasn’t in doing another thing or in checking another box off

It was in the silence between the… trees
