Calm Action

I sit and listen to the sounds of the woods in the early morning, I hear the breeze. I hear the birds. I hear the insects. Though I know that there is much going on that I can not hear, what I hear sounds to me like calm. Then it occurs to me that there is calm in the woods, even with the things that are going on that I can not hear. I start to understand that there does not have to be inactivity in order for there to be calm. There is quiet in noise, the space between the sound waves. There is light in darkness. There is calm in action.
