Natasja + Danny :: Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania :: Philadelphia, PA

I love to sit in silence beneath a shady tree and listen to the song of birds and to the buzz of bees.

I love to sit in silence and watch the clouds go by and then read a book or hear a song and hear the wild bird cry.

I love to sit in silence when the day is almost done and see beyond the distant hill the paint glow of the sun.

I love to sit in silence in the evening twilight and listen to the whippoorwill sing with all its might.

I love to sit in silence beneath the starry night and pray to all in earnestness to live in silence all the while.
