Waiting for Stillness


O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell

"O solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
  Let it not be among the jumbled heap
  Of murky buildings; climb with me the steep,—
Nature’s observatory—whence the dell,
Its flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell,
  May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
  ’Mongst boughs pavillion’d, where the deer’s swift leap
Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell.
But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee,
  Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind,
Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d,
  Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be
Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,
  When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee."

- John Keats

**Another location for Stillness is at this place,** and at this place.**

A beatutiful spot you have on film, Colin. I do not see you sitting there :-) Is it taken recently? We should all have a corner like that named Nature’s observatory.*
