Still Water

And why not silence?
Below my feet, The Grand River parts pale water
Cathedral quiet, industrial building reflected
A thin gauze of rain stalls overhead
 
This is the way I drift
From each skirmish with the world
To the diplomacy of light
As it flickers off the water
 
   
A great thing about Blip:  I never planned to take this photo or find this little moment of solitude.  I was having snow tires put on my car and went for a walk in the rain rather than sit around a dirty , noisy shop. I walked over this bridge and then stopped for a time and took this shot with my i-phone.  Sometimes beauty is all around us.  You just have to slow down for a moment to see it.
