Time time time

Tonight, I sat quietly for a few minutes, eyes closed. Just sitting, not trying to accomplish anything. I allow thoughts that floated in my head to just float. Images of beauty and tranquility came, and went. Questions and answers, too. Enjoyed the silence of a fall evening, pierced only by the whistle of a train or the bark of a dog. And, for a precious moment, I lost track, sense of time. I didn't fall asleep (though I 'm tired), but it was as if for a too-short while, I left. So, I'm back now.
